1) Create a URL with a GUID or other unique Identifer for the document, put it in database along with the expiration time and the file location of the real doc. 2) Create an Httphandler that reads the URL and does a look up in the DB (using a stored proc of course) 3) If the URL is still valid, use the file location of the real doc and write the document out as part of the response stream. If the GUID isn't valid or the URL has expired redirect user to appropriprate page.
