Anders-

For images:
RewriteRule ^/.*\.(png|jpeg|jpg|gif|bmp)$ /address_of_your_image.png
[L,NC,R=302]

For everything else:
RewriteRule ^/.*$ /down_time.html [L,R=302]

That should do it, I think. You can add any other image extensions you
might have to the list in the first one. You could probably do it by
mime type, as well, but you'll probably need to do a sub-request and
rewrite conditions.

I actually use something very similar to the first one for battling
hotlinking. I have a page on my site that describes it, and gives a
detailed walk through of the regular expressions if you want to learn
more: https://brianpmearns.com/bpm/shanghai

Hope that helps.

P.S., before someone else says something, the =302 probably isn't
needed on the R flags, because I think Apache uses 302 as the default.
But it might be a good idea anyway, just to make sure they don't end
up as 301's, because that's not what you want (this is a temporary
condition, right?)
