For example, Inacon doesn't provide free help on IGMP, but both Wikipedia and network sorcery do, albeit not as nicely as Inacon would, I'm sure.  Still, it would be better than nothing.  So the idea would be that getting an "Access Denied" (or "Page not found") from something like http://www.inacon.de/ph/data/IGMP/index.php might cause the help request to redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGMP, or http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/igmp.htm, or maybe even http://wiki.wireshark.org/IGMP or whichever other site you prefer.

That would be tough since (only) the browser will know whether it found 
a valid page or not.
