That's basically what the wayback machine does: https://archive.org/web/

Yes! It would be like the Wayback machine as a service, but with some key differences:

1) The intention is that you replace your dynamic site with the static copy, but your visitors are none the wiser. All URLs are the same, as well as the content returned. Might require some .htaccess trickery.

2) It would have to preserve all the images, css, and other assets, some possibly hotlinked. (The Wayback Machine is not awesome at this, understandably)
