Question : Web Server Maintenance Page redirect?

Thought this will be simple but there are a number of different approaches and i wanted your input.

Here is the case

A - public
B - DMZ
C - LAN

Web Server is in DMZ and only 80/443 is open to it from A to B
If i want to take the server down for maintenance i can do a 1:1 port redirect for 80/443 to a different IP on DMZ which has a simple HTML maintenance page. How can I address the same if coming from LAN to DMZ. I used to change the DNS but for a variety of reasons this is not prefered route.

What would you do if you need to take your web server down for maintenance. That is the whole host not just service. Then redirect to a maintenance page?

Thanks.

>complicated load balancing scenarios with virtual ip
Nothing complicated about it, this would be the route I would take. If you have a load balancer use it. That is one if primary uses, server is down, load is moved to another server; keep it in the environment indefinitely too, not just for the maintenance.

Here is a link that explains how to setup the LAN/DMZ scenario if you choose not to implement the LB.
