If I have a link on page A pointing to URL B, and B is permanently redirected to URL C, and C is 404, the Broken link list shows C with B as the referrer. Unfortunately A is not mentioned, even though I've increased the referrer listing limit to 3. This makes it impossible to find out where the broken link actually is. Having B in the mix is potentially useful, but not at the expense of A.

Hello,

a solution in this case would be to make sure that URL B returns 404 http code, which will allow to find out referring link A.

Unfortunately that isn't a realistic solution in this scenario (it would mean a significant increase in load and complexity).
