I'm trying to implement a system to disable the site temporaly for 
maintenance purposes or whatever. If the site is disabled, only logged users 
can navigate through it, non-logged users are redirected to a "Site under 
maintenance" layout.

Currently (o "As of now"), my approach is to allow a "secret url" that will 
lead to the login form, check in AppController::beforefilter if the current 
url is the allowed one and, if it isn't, set the maintenance layout. Trying 
to figure out how to allow only one url to log in, I came to define it as a 
constant in bootstrap and add the route in config/routes pointing to 
UsersController::login.

It would be nice to save the secret url into the database and change it 
without editing bootstrap.php, though.

Any suggestion?
