Error redirects

Is it possible to redirect using domain records? As i've stated before we allow clients to create their own cpanel accounts using a sub-domain of our parent domain so they get their own set of records. What we want to do if possible is alter the Zone template so that if there is a missing file/web page rather than see the "404 Not Found" the clients sub-domain would be redirected to a destination of our choice? This record will mostly likely be a CNAME record. Example Clients website is located at clsub.mydom.com, someone types in clsub.mydom.com/lostfile.html then they would be redirected Thanks!

  Not possible no, but you can add a .htaccess file to new accounts that would redirect 404's. You can use custom errors: Custom Error Responses - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 To automatically add the .htaccess to the account you can use cPanel skel directory: Skeleton Directory - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

  Just place it in the home directory, before public_html, very small chance it will get touched.
