Not sure if I understand correctly, but try this:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  if (something && req.path !== '/')
    return res.redirect('/');
  next();
});

app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  if (something)
    return res.sendfile('/public/index.html', { root: __dirname + '/..' });
  next();
});

app.use(express.static(...));
