A minor addition:
  You need to use an absolute path for images in
  your 404 document because relative paths are interpreted relative
  to the bad url rather than to the path of the 404 document.

Example:
  www.246.dk/somepagethatisnotthere.html
    displayed a nice 404 document with images intact
  www.246.dk/blah/blah/blah/blah/
    displayed the 404 document but with "broken image" icons

(And I changed it to use absolute path so both examples should
 look fine now :-)

Of course another solution is to just avoid images at all.

Kind regards
