[users@httpd] Custom 404 ErrorDocument Logs a 200

["David P. Donahue" <ddonahue@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

(Using Apache 1.3.33)  I have my httpd.conf file specify custom error 
pages for 404 errors (and some other errors, but that's not important). 
 I'm noticing in my logs, however, that when a user goes to a 
non-existant page and the server returns the custom 404 page, it's 
logged as a 200 instead of a 404.  I'm guessing this is because the 
custom page exists so the request was handled as a 200.

Is there a way to make it log as a 404?  I only ask because I have a 
reporting engine looking through my logs and it's registering far fewer 
404s in the reports than it should.  That and web crawlers aren't 
getting the hint that those pages aren't there :)

Any ideas?
