Description Arthur Richards 2010-10-23 13:39:46 UTC 
When the payments server goes down for maintenance, testing, etc. we used to use Apache rewrite rules to redirect a user to a 'Downtime' page.  Now that Squid is handling web requests, we need to configure Squid to be able to emulate this behavior.
Comment 1 Arthur Richards 2010-10-23 17:33:43 UTC 
Hacktually, forget the squid.  We'll use iptables to redirect people to lighttpd running a non-standard port serving only DownTime.html.  Proof of concept in place, need to script it so we can easily go up/down.
Comment 2 Arthur Richards 2010-10-23 19:25:43 UTC 
Wrote init.d script to bring up/down downtime with optional white-listable ipaddress to still get web access to the box.  Works nicely.
