We have a "maintenance mode" in our app which is kind of similar. We do this
before calling the authenticate method, and our entire app is covered by
authentication, so it isn't quite the same. But this does the conditional
global redirect.
I guess you could check the action more imaginatively - I do this just to avoid
looping/recursion.
All the best

sub begin : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
...
if ($c->action()->name() ne 'maintenance') {
my $maintenance = $c->config()->{maintenance} || 0;
if ($maintenance == 1) {
$c->go('maintenance');
}
}
...
}
