For my jobs site, I want to return 410 status for those jobs which expire or are removed permanently. How can I do it so that 410 instead of 404 is returned for say job related node types( they'll be unpublished first and later deleted permanently I guess I should return 404 for unpublished then 410 when deleted)?

Secondly in case it really works out to use 410 for such pages but later new job pages may be published by Path Auto which could assign the very same url's based on title name for which 410 was returned once. I understand if a url comes back after 410 it will be permanently ignore by Google. So I guess I'd need that Path Auto always generate a non-duplicated (deleted) url. So solve this I'd need to tag an always increasing number with the url or adds jobs in url directories based on dates like xyz.com/oct/job1.... So I'd need to take care of this too if I'm able to return 410 for such page.
