That's interesting, yeah we could probably set Django configuration to send all unknown requests to the base route- I think that would fix the 404s. In the future we could have it so that the unknown routes still respect the react router as well.

I took a brief look at this and I think it can be resolved by modifying our usage of the goStatic container. We can provide it a parameter that will allow the server to default to returning the index.html file when it encounters an unknown route.
