Maintaining and Updating a Live WebSite - Show "Under Maintenance" screen

Hello,

We are about to delpoy an asp.net web application. Does anyone know of any good articles where I can read up on to learn how to Maintain and Update a live .NET web app?

What we would like to do is this...

While we are copying files to the server, we want to add some functionality that....if a user requests a page while we are "Working on the site"...we would like to show a page....stating that "We are working, please check back later."

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.I create a second, "maintenance" website listening on the same IP.
The maintenance web has only one page (Default.htm, etc.).
Every error code in IIS Manager is re-routed to this page.
Then just stop one web and start the other.
