Is it advisable having two xml sitemaps for two different sections in a single site?

Hi Warriors,

I have a mobile phone niche website. I have a comparison section in that website in which the products are displayed from feed. I have two questions to ask

1. I already have a xml sitemap for my site. Should I have another sitemap for the compare section separately?
2. As I have mentioned earlier, products in the compare section are displayed from feed. When the feed is run, some products go off, replaced by new products. So the url of the old products goes to '404 page'. So, lot of 404 pages are getting added in the site. Please give me a good solution for this.

Looking forward for your expert advice.

    Technically you can easily have two different XML sitemap files and submit them both (or connect them in a sitemap index file)

    Like Sitemapper was saying,

    If you look at a lot of the video sites & their sitemaps, they'll have hundreds of sitemaps hosted on their site, with a single master sitemap that will include the URLs to all their sitemaps, then submit the single sitemap. That covers hundreds of sitemaps in a single shot.

    Try this as your 404.php page code:

    <?
    header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
    header( "Location: /index.php" );
    ?>
