This is all true, but it sounds like the real problem is 404 detection. The redirection is required if, and only if, the requested page isn't found. That means detecting the 404 header and specifying a custom error handler page. AFIK, that can only be done via the CF Administrator or IIS. I don't believe the cferror tag will detect 404 errors.
I can't think of a good way to handle the problem you're describing (assuming I understand it correctly) without access to either console.
