Anyone noticed that serverfault has a pretty darn cool 503 site?

I was wondering how do I redirect all pages e.g. /page.html to the main site for maintenance and add a 503 status header via htaccess or would it be better to not redirect and simply give a 503 status for the page you want to visit /page.html, page2.html

Could anyone share their HTACCESS setup for a maintenance or emergency and their thoughts on redirecting?

Thank you Oliver
