It is not a redirect to a 404 page, but the exact response page that the server will issue whenever a 404 error occurs. I personally like editing this file for a custom 404. However, the CMS that I wrote allows me to use any page as a 404 so that I can tailor the 404 error for the specific URL for maximum recovery. I rarely do this these days because I simply do not care anymore. ;-) However it is a valid idea for those who can do it. Cheers!!
