title: Redirect to Apache built-in 404 page with mod_rewrite?
body: <p>Is there a way to actively serve Apache's <strong>default, built-in 404 page</strong> for a number of URLs using mod_rewrite? Not a custom error document, but a rule like</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dirname/pagename
  RewriteRule -- serve 404 page -----
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know how to build a PHP page that sends the 404 header and have <code>mod_rewrite</code> redirect all the URLs there but I would prefer a solution that is based on <code>mod_rewrite</code> only.</p>
  
  <p>I just had the idea of redirecting to a non-existent address:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dirname/pagename
  RewriteRule .* /sflkadsölfkasdfölkasdflökasdf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but that would give the user the message <strong>"/sflkadsölfkasdfölkasdflökasdf does not exist"</strong> on the error page, which looks a bit unprofessional.</p>
