Custom 503 Error Page

[Eden Li]

Hmm... that doesn't seem to work either.  Is it possible that `return  
xxx;` always generates the internal response?

The only thing that would achieve the desired result in this case is  
proxying to some blackhole which would cause the 503 to be caught and  
rewritten according to the error_page directive.
