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.
Some Domain Registrars can also present that for you as part of the name registration. In which case, if the registrar's setup is good, they can present this to public traffic without you needing to setup a redirect on your own network.
