I once used spider to spider, then ftp an entire website (4 front end servers) to a single server located elsewhere. Swung the DNS to point to the other location. We worked on the actual webservers until satisfied, then swung DNS back. No one knew there was an outage. This only works if there is no database access or other information gathering software involved. You could clearly use it to move static websites easily and temporarily. No one would realize there was an outage. ---- Original message ----

I have a question/puzzle for you today. We have a number of websites published through our ISA server. We take the web servers down periodically for backup, and would like to route visitors to a notification page that provides info on system status, etc, for the duration of the backup. Has anyone figured out a clever way to do that? Thanks! - Charlie Charlie Prothero CIO Keystone College One College Green o La Plume, PA 18440 570-945-8015
