How to set Missing.html for the error page

I have created a missing.html file in my document root
(http://www.machilus.com/missing.html) and made the following
configuration:

#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo.
# n.b. the single leading (") marks it as text, it does not get
output
#
# 2) local redirects
ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 403 /missing.html
#DrrorDocument 500 /missing.html

But when I randomly link to a page that doesn't exist, say,
http://www.machilus.com/fdadf.html, it won't link to the missing.html
file as specified above. Is there any other place I have to setup?

if your missing.html reads "test", it's ok with your config.
You should test your 404 with something else than IE for windows, as
this browser won't show custom 404 if its size is less that 0.5 k
(approx). (only html size matters, images are not taken into account)
