You can't. Oce the request has reached the proxy the proxy must respond
with someting. If it fails retreiving the requested object the polite
thing is to respond with an error message explaining what happened and
what the user can do to fix the peoblem.

If you fo not want to be polite to the users then you MAY change the
error pages to just a blank page with no visible content, but there
still needs to be somr kind of response.

Yes. Just replace the error pages with a file containing just the
following line:

<!-- %s -->
