Are there any redirectors that have database support for something similar to this already available?

Neither Squid or Netfilter have the technology for doing this builtin. Adding technology to Squid for doing this is relatively simple. You will need a redirector helper using a database keeping track of when the user was last seen, and if the user was not active in the last say 60 minutes then redirect him to the selected site (and record in the database that the user is active, as is done for any other request).
