.php or .html

[Jos Chrispijn <apache@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have my site at a hosting provider who has strict standards regarding 
the DirectoryIndex setting.

Having Joomla installed, I can access my index.php when I enter the URL 
of my website.
The problem is that I first want to display an index.html page before I 
display my site. So I put an extra line in my .htaccess containing

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

But that doesn't work as my provider tells me now that it is not allowed 
to use `Options` and `DirectoryIndex` related functions in my .htaccess 
file.
He advised me to rename my index.php to something else, but if I do 
that, Joomla (my CMS) can't find the branch it is sitting on (hardcoded 
it looks for index.php).

Can someone tell me how to solve this?

thanks,
Jos Chrispijn
