You could use an HTTP monitor and configure the 'Send String' to do an HTTP get on a file, /up.txt for example. Then configure 'Receive Disable String' with whatever you put in the up.txt file to indicate that the server should be marked down.
For your maintenance page, you can specify a 'Fallback Host' in the HTTP profile you've associated with the virtual server. This is the page that users will be presented with in the event that no pool members attached to the virtual server are available.
