Re: IE 9 ignoring my custom error pages with 404 codes

The usual limit is 512kb for 404 pages (Attention: some people report this limit also accounts for compressed content).

Re: IE 9 ignoring my custom error pages with 404 codes
Kiran, I agree with Konstantin on this one. In my previous experiences with IE (not sure about IE9) it will 'hijack' custom 404 pages and display the default IE 404 page if your custom page is insufficient in size. Increase your page size (in KBs) and see if that resolves your issue.
