This probably involves too much unneeded functionality for you, but my VirtualHostFolder has some nice redirect functionality. Per host definitions, redirect done before the ZODB is even traversed, nice regex capabilities for the redirect, and so on.

requires the OrderedFolder, which itself may need the international language support package in order to properly display button text.
I doubt that helps, but just in case... :-)
Gary, thanks for the pointer. Your product sounds very cool, but you're right, it's overkill for me, and in fact, not even an option as I am unable to install new products on this zope server as I'm not the admin. The best I can do is an External Method, but I have to fight for them too. You're the third person to suggest a product of some sort. I'm quite surprised; I thought this would be really easy with just a simple python script or something similar. I think I could achieve my goal using standard_error_message if only I could figure out how to get hold of the entire subpath (not just the first 'NotFound' object). cheers tim
