No, it is not possible to send a 4xx and redirect (ie. 3xx status) in the same response - if that is the intention.



A 410 (or 404) response is one response. A 3xx HTTP redirect is another entirely different response. You do one or the other, not both.



Google will likely see 3xx redirects to the home page as soft-404s anyway (as they are generally a bad user experience).



However, you can send a 410 "Gone" status instead of a 404 "Not Found". Exactly how you do this will depend on your system. For example, if you have an existing 404 document then it may be easier to simply override the HTTP status when the response is sent to the client. To send a 410 when any response does not map to a physical file or directory then you can do something like the following using mod_rewrite in .htaccess:



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ - [G]
