I think you are thinking in the wrong terms. Let Apache not find the resource,
or any servlet returning a 404 error. Apache will then look at the
ErrorDocument directive to see what to do.
The ErrorDocument directive (normally found in srm.conf). Either place a
document or a complete URL for what to be served instead. For instance;
ErrorDocument 404 http://thisserver.thisdomain.com/servlets/notfound.shtml
