404 question

I am trying to send a redirect to a 404 page but also return a 404 status code to the web browser. How is this accomplished? I have the following iRule, but it only returns a blank page:    ...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

If you send a 404, the client won't use the Location header for anything. If you want LTM to send a 404 with content, you'd have to send the content from the iRule. I suppose you could use HTTP::retry to do something fancy like get the response content from another host and send that back to the client, but it would probably add a significant amount of complexity to your configuration and latency to the response time.
