displaying a different page after a header("Location: $newurl") time out

Hi,

I wonder if the following is possible ?

Based on variables passed to a script I finally launch the appropriate page
(always a third party page on another server)

Like this :

header("Location: $newurl"); // re-direct

I now wonder, suppose this third party page is offline and instead of
getting the "this page cannot be displayed" from IE is it possible to detect
that and maybe put up another page ? Like, "please come back in while" or
something like that ?
