Hello everyone,
Although we use CentOS primarily on our servers, this query is
actually more of a general networking question than something specific
to CentOS.
In the next week or so, we shall be migrating our in-house servers to
a data center. While we're doing that, we'd like to show a "Site down
for maintenance" message while the servers that hosts our websites (we
have around 15 sites hosted btw), are down.
So, how is this accomplished? While I can probably hack something on
our name servers, I'm sure there are people on this list that have
been doing this and could give some recommendations as to the best
practices for this type of task.
Keep or setup a box inhouse to show the message, when the servers are
online in the data center, switch ips for the names over and then change
the setup on the box to either redirect or proxy the requests to the
real servers to handle incoming http requests due to cached dns entries.
