You know, I hadn't given it a lot of thought to be honest.

I think that for accuracy's sake it should probably be a 500 error (I 
assume that 503 is a server busy error or something; don't know it off 
the top of my head).  An actual redirect error could confuse a browser.

I'd assume that for optimal performance you'd want to redirect to 
another machine, but there's nothing enforcing this.  If you're using 
Apache or IIS as a localhost front-end, you could redirect to a URI 
that's being served by the web server.  This is likely to be a low-cost 
operation.
