It sounds like you want your own handler for 404 errors. So

  error_page 404 @404;

or

  error_page 404 = @404;

http://nginx.org/r/error_page for details. and the difference between
the two lines.

Then in "location @404 {}", do what you want - proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass
to something external with appropriate other settings, most likely.

Good luck with it,
