Thats what the no404.nasl plugin supposed to do, we use a greatly modified 
version which also checks for things like common page titles and body 
tags, along with a signature array of error strings to match. It is 
relatively easy to extend and the <title>/<body> checks take care of the 
what the signatures don't. The plugin is question was posted to the list 
a while back, we have some minor mods to it since.
