Maintenance message when servers are down / under maintenance (IHS)
We have a distributed CLM topology where IHS acts as reverse proxy.
Distributed environment, CLM 606.1, iFix014, CM enabled
Server 1: IHS
Server 2: JTS, CCM, GC, LDX, RS
Server 3: RM
Server 4: DCC, RELM
Server 5: LQE
To route the different CLM applications, there are 4 URI-groups in the plugin-cfg.xml.
When would like to have a maintenance message when servers are down / under maintenance.
So normal users are rerouted to a maint.html, and only calls from server or admin users are routed to the CLM apps.
It would even be more ideal when "maintenance mode" would be enabled by the existance of a file "maintenance.lock" or something like that.
Can this be achieved? Any help is welcome.

You could then redirect anything that comes from an IP address that is not one of the servers to the announcement page.
