title: Rewrite rule for "site down" pages
body: <p>I was trying to install this .htaccess to notify my users of site maintenance. It seems the first [L] isn't working and the second rewrite is doing everything.</p>
  
  <p>How do you guys do site maintenance messages?</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  
  RewriteRule ^s/down$ index.html [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://metaward.com/s/down [R=302,L]
  </code></pre>
