Make sure to create a favicon. Since the browser will request this file anyway, there's no reason to return a 404 Page Not Found error, especially if your 404 handler consumes a database connection or other expensive resources.
Favicons are those cute little icons that appear on your browser's address bar when you visit some sites.
You can stick with the favicon provided by your Web host.
