Showing an error page when Tomcat is down using IIS + JK2

Hi Guys

I am trying to get IIS to display a nice HTML page when Tomcat is not running. We use JK2 to push requests between IIS and Tomcat.

I am able to specify custom pages for IIS HTTP codes but when I stop Tomcat I get the Intenet Explorer message

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer
Which I cannot customise in IIS. The only way to get the fact that Tomcat is down into a 404 which I can customise is to remove the JK2 ISAPI filter from IIS whilst I do whatever it is I am doing.
This is not practical because sometimes I am restarting Tomcat, or Tomcat may well go down on its own (not that it ever has).

Your thoughts appreciated, ADC
