well I'm talking about the mirror script here - that one is spidering 
our own site(and only that - no external urls (obviously) and generating 
the static html files for the mirrors.
It already logs 404's though most of them are false positives because 
the script missparses some (old) pages - this could be fixed but I'm not 
sure we can (or should) do much more because we would have to 
periodically spider all external(!) urls.
