What is interesting is if you go to a url that actually should be a 404, for example:

http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/thisshouldbea404

It 301's to the root.

While inspecting the headers, I noticed theres also a couple of resources that are referenced in the html, and do actually return a 404:

http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/droplist/dropstyleforum.css
http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/droplist/table.js


but the 404 is just a plain http header error with a body of "page not found", rather than the error page.

I haven't actually implemented it as a 404 here, my 404 policy takes you back to the homepage.

The 2 files you linked to are for areas of the site for Exclusive Members only (Acorn daily drop lists) so you don't have full access to access them. They are also outside to VB so the usual redirect is not in place.
