Kiran, I agree with Konstantin on this one. In my previous experiences with IE (not sure about IE9) it will 'hijack' custom 404 pages and display the default IE 404 page if your custom page is insufficient in size. Increase your page size (in KBs) and see if that resolves your issue.

Ask Microsoft? It is their beast. I remember seeing someone adding a few KBs of HTML comments into the error page, because that suppresses this behaviour of IE.
