How can I create a Rails 3 route that will match all requests and direct to one resource / page?

Question

I have a rails app (Rails 3.0) that I need to temporarily take out of service. While this is in effect, I want to create a new route that will direct all requests to a single pi

Rails needs to bind the url parameters to a variable, try this:

match '*foo' => 'content#holding'

If you also want to match /, use parenthesis to specify that foo is optional:

match '(*foo)' => 'content#holding'
