Hi David - Funny you ask... there are not currently any solid ones afaik, but I've been talking with the Internet Archive about building out a bot and trying to achieve community consensus on ENWP to autoreplace deadlinks with archive.org ones. The IA has been crawling all new external links on all Wikimedia projects at least once every couple of hours for months, and has a strong interest in killing off literally all of our dead links. Unless something falls through, I should be bringing a more detailed plan up within maybe five or six weeks.
