You can change the status but not the HTML ... yet.

We have ideas for this area, basically, you would detect the 503,
edit req.url and restart the transaction with the new url.

Not yet implemented however.

We have also talked about being able to have local content on the
varnish server, likely in the form of a .tar file, but this is also
yet to be implemented.
