This took a while to set up as it needed the certs so that https also works and the server needed to be set up to still work for the other domains on it and also I put the favicon and logo in place and use some SSI to display the current time to help people in other times zones and sorting the mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.html [R=302,L]
What is missing of course is a pic of a cute cat and a some amusing text... contributions welcome... ;-)

OK, the live server is down now, the IP address has been switched, the dev server will be going down soon and with it trac...
I might stick some stuff up on the spash page if I get a chance...
I have set up this site for the IP to be pointed at during the down time:
http://transdown.webarch.net/
https://transdown.webarch.net/
All requests for files that don't exist get a temp redirect to the front page.
