protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Exception exception = Server.GetLastError();
   // Log the exception.

   ILogger logger = Container.Resolve<ILogger>();
   logger.Error(exception);

   Response.Clear();

   HttpException httpException = exception as HttpException;

   RouteData routeData = new RouteData();
   routeData.Values.Add("controller", "Error");

   if (httpException == null)
   {
       routeData.Values.Add("action", "Index");
   }
   else //It's an Http Exception, Let's handle it.
   {
       switch (httpException.GetHttpCode())
       {
          case 404:
              // Page not found.
              routeData.Values.Add("action", "HttpError404");
              break;
          case 500:
              // Server error.
              routeData.Values.Add("action", "HttpError500");
              break;

           // Here you can handle Views to other error codes.
           // I choose a General error template  
           default:
              routeData.Values.Add("action", "General");
              break;
      }
  }           

  // Pass exception details to the target error View.
  routeData.Values.Add("error", exception);

  // Clear the error on server.
  Server.ClearError();

  // Avoid IIS7 getting in the middle
  Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true; 

  // Call target Controller and pass the routeData.
  IController errorController = new ErrorController();
  errorController.Execute(new RequestContext(    
       new HttpContextWrapper(Context), routeData));
}

It is already caught and the reason MVC returns a 404.  Are you trying to return a custom error page?

Something else?
