I do this via a CF error handler in a CMS; the non-existant page "/something_with_your_keywords.html" causes the CF-based 404 page to kick in, wherein I look in the DB for the article (indexed by UUID by the way) that corresponds to the URL. This article gets served to the user along with a 200 found header (so it's no longer a 404 page as far as the user/search bot/whatever is concerned). Of course if the alias doesn't correspond to an article, a friendly 404 error is displayed. I also allow multiple URLS (at various directory depths and across multiple subdomains) to point to the same article, so we can reuse content.
