Hi all,

Is there a way to return a custom document along with a 503 Network
Unavailable response code using mod_rewrite rules? The documentation
mentions the ability to return 3xx and 4xx, but not 5xx. If 5xx codes
are unavailable - is there a specific reason why?

In case you're wondering why I would like to return a 503 code -
Google recommends returning it for 'down for maintenance' pages:

I don't think mod_rewrite can do it.  (I haven't tried it, but the
code seems to enforce 3xx on the R flag.)  But it is easier with
mod_alias anyway:

Redirect 503 /
