How about writting the IP address to the database with a timestamp, then when a matching IP address arrives you view the timestamp and if it has been more then a hour, they can view the page, which would force you to update the timestamp. Of course you would probably need to write a stand-alone (i.e. non-web) php script that would act as a cron job to clean out the database periodically, whatever period you define (depending on traffic and size of DB).
