app-offline.htm

I loved the features of using app_offline.htm on my ASP.NET WebForm based sites.
Upload the file and your app is immediately "offline". Snappy.

Now that I'm using MVC 2, I noticed that this no longer works.
Is there a way to get this behavior in ASP.NET MVC 2 like it did in WebForms?
If not, what alternative do you prefer?
