You problem statement is a little confusing, so I'm not sure I am on the right track here

Just a quick thought,
Does your urls.py contain
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

If you are missing the "import *" the handler404 function that your are assigning to

> handler404 = 'proxy.views.remap_test'
> .....

will just be a local variable and not django.conf.urls.defaults.handler404
