Rails - Apr 2006 - How do I programmatically send a 404 error

I want to programmatically under certain conditions return a 404 (page 
not found) error to the browser.  How can I do this from my controller?

I''m assuming I need to set a header on the reponse obect.  However I 
can''t figure out what the header name is.

thanks, scott.

Is something preventing...

render :nothing => true, :status => 404

...from being apropos?
