Ok I think I'm a little slow tonight... This sounds and looks like a cool way to handle my first issue looking at it from a visitors point of view. But from a SE point of view will it see a status 404, 301 or a status 200? I'm asking due to if Google does not see a 404 when it's expects to it makes your site "Not verified" in web masters tools.
If I'm reading it right "it's been a long night already" I think the SE will see a 301 since it's over rides the 404 and with this any link weight that the missing page might have had is now passed onto the page where the 301 directs you to.
Do I have it or I'm I still in left field.....
