if the site is stopped this means no instance is listening to requests to this site. thus it is not possible to do so by web.config.

If what you mean is to use a custom page for site maintenance, you can take use of the app_offline.htm file:

Although that's cool too it's no use for those cases where the apppool is merely overloaded or temporarily unavailable due to a recycling. I wonder if there's a way to customize the message in those cases.
