404 Diversion

One of our hosts has something setup to divert a missing page request (404) to a specific page which is held in our root (404.shtml). That's good: it catches quite a bit for us, and we have edited it to make it fit our context.

However, I install the same site on our backup host and... it doesn't divert!

Thus, somehow, the main host must have something somewhere to handle this. My question is what?

I've checked the .htaccess in the root and it's completely empty. I've looked in the cgi-bin, and that too is emplty.

So I now wonder: how do I set this same thing up on host 2?

Can anyone advise? Is there something to go in .htaccess? Or maybe dome other way? Or both?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
