I tried adding a 404 line to the htaccess, but that doesn't work.

Well it worked if I deleted the symlinks or permalinks or whatever info that was in the htaccess, but then that would mess up my SEO efforts.

I tried using an http meta refresh on the 404 template in my wordpress theme but that didn't work either, just brought up a blank page cannot be found.

Anyone know how to redirect 404 traffic offsite with wordpress? I'd appreciate the help.
