Have you considered linking to a Wayback Machine archive page instead?

It's funny, I was seriously considering doing just that a day or so ago. I think I might.
You could have a service that runs in the background (say once a week) on all outbound links that checks for 404s and then automatically updates the outbound link to the archive.org link. That or have both links.
