thanks for the quick answer, but I don't quite understand:

I already assumed that the second would cause an external redirect, but
why the first statement would not lead to an internal rewrite of the
URI and then try that through the remainder of the configuration, I
don't see.

I mean, the documentation suggests that "error_page 404 /somepage.html"
should work, and I don't see that much of a difference.


Kind regards,
