Thanks! Unfortunately, I over-simplified the situation a bit in my
previous mail. We actually have three different files we want to
display during downtime, depending on the url. So we do:

if (-f /var/downtime/notice.html) {
  rewrite ^/health(.*)$ /health.txt break;
  rewrite ^/facebook/(.*)$ /fb-notice.fbml break;
  rewrite ^(.*)$ /notice.html break;
  break;
}

location = /health.txt {
  notice /var/downtime/health.txt;
  notice_type text/plain;
  break;
}
location = /fb-notice.fbml {
  notice /var/downtime/fb-notice.fbml;
  break;
}
location = /notice.html {
  notice /var/downtime/notice.html;
  break;
}

Is there a way to use error_page 503 this way for more than one file?

Have a good vacation!
