Okay stupid question..

I already know that i can have multiple .htaccess files on specific domains, for example, one for a sites members area and, one for a sites root directory however, can i put multiple 404 redirects in the members area and root?

domain.com/.htaccess and;
domain.com/members/.htaccess

Each with a different 404 redirect url or, will the root htaccess take control of 404 redirection?
