Automatic shutdown when servers are overwhelmed #159

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: I have been using Remote Falcon for several years. Every year to date the servers end up getting overwhelmed on the first couple of busiest weekends of the year. Cars lined up around the corner, and the light display is not working. Things like this happen, but as an IT professional is not ideal when there is a large crowd in front of your house and your stuff does not work. I will likely disable the voting service the first couple of high traffic weekends to avoid that this year.

Describe the solution you'd like: It would be nice if when your servers get overwhelmed, it will stop the voting feature, switch the website site wording to off-line, and allow the system to play the local playlist instead. I found the feature allowing Remote Falcon playing ALL PSA announcements a great feature, as when RF is off-line it no longer advertises the website. However, when the website is overwhelmed, it does not respond to updating the wording, and it would be nice to let people know it is not working.
