I need a little help! When my web service is down for maintenance, since Apache is will still be up and running, I would like for Apache to server an xml file with the appropriate message depending on what request was made by the client. I have a few operations available, makePayment, calculateFee, etc.

Is it possible to have Apache determine what type of operation request is made for example if I have an xml error page for each process; how will Apache know which xml file to serve based on the operation request from the client

To make it more clear:
What is the best practice for modifying apache to know what request is being made in order to serve the appropriate xml file?
