Thanks Matt. This is in fact what I have been doing to date :) . The problem is, that to configure the error page to handle several different status codes, you have to keep repeating basically the same 4 lines of config, with just the error code changing each time - a bit repetitive, and not good from a maintenance viewpoint. I'm thinking that there must be a neater way.....?
