Hi,

I'd like to render a specific 404.gif file when the requested
gif/png/jpg image is not found on the file system while other documents
are still redirected to a 404.html document with "ErrorDocument 504
/404.html" directive.

Is there a way to do that in http.conf? I can do it within my
application  (i use tomcat) but i think it is bad idea for performance
reasons.

First you need to determine whether the request was for an image or
not.  If you can trust the file extension, you could use something
like
<LocationMatch \.(gif|png|jpg)$>
ErrorDocument 404 /nothere.gif
</LocationMatch>

But I have no idea how browsers will interpret an image returned with
a 404 status code.  In the case of an image embedded in an html page,
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they threw out the image and
displayed the broken-image icon.
