Overwriting the handler404

Hi there,
i am trying to overwrite handler404 of django so that i can call my
own view function when it doesnot find the appropriate view and if it
tries to give Http404. the whole problem is as follows:

i defined my view function called 'remap_test' in my proxy app. and i
changed the default handler404 to handler404 =
'proxy.views.remap_test'.
The problem is that it gives all the time 404 error even if the
handler404 is defined right and even if it is in right place(in
urls.py) and the settings.py has the DEBUG = FALSE and my new view
function is theoretically ready to be called. but it isnot called,
sometimes it is. it is sooo weird.

i will post here the code blocks i added:

in my urls.py is this:
....
handler404 = 'proxy.views.remap_test'
.....
....

and my view function is this:

def remap_test(request):
return HttpResponse("test message as 404")

and my model is this:

class Remap(models.Model):
new_url = models.CharField(max_length=50)
src_url = models.CharField(max_length=150)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.src_url

... i dont know why it calls 404 all the time, sometimes i get the
problem if i add items to my database tables in admin, and sometimes
not. can someone please help me with this or does anyone have an idea
what the problem could be ?

thank you guys so much in advance,

doni
