Answer 1

Thanks for the solution William. However methods 1 & 2 aren't working anymore Laravel 4, and in order to use solution #3 in Laravel 4 you will have to fire the 404 event in your start/global.php file.

App::error(function(Exception $exception, $code)
{
    // i.o. -> this is our catchall!
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13297278/laravel-using-any-wildcard-for-all-routes
    Event::fire('404');

    return View::make('error')->with('exception', $exception)->with('code', $code);

    Log::error($exception);
});

Now we can handle this in our routes.php file:

Event::listen('404', function() {
    // url?
    $url = Request::path();

    // LOGIC HERE

    // else
    return View::make('error');
});
