I know a quick and easy way to do this, but it is perhaps a hack. I use it often, \
though.

Set IIS to point to a directory with one file in it - a script file with an unlikely \
name. Then set IIS to direct all 404 responses to this script via the URL method. The \
script will then receive the path in the $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} variable, with '404;' \
prepended.

I think you would have to manually send a 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK' response header for this \
to really work smoothly, but that is it.
