It definitely isn't a Mason issue but it's an easy thing to do anyway.
There are at least a couple of ways to handle it.
The first is to use the HTML META tag in the HEAD area of page 1 to
specify a redirect.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60;url=http://
www.wonderfulmasonhost.com/page2">
put that in the HEAD section of the HTML and in 60 seconds the page
should refresh by loading a new page from the given URL.
The second way is to use some Javascript embedded in the page, but
given how easy the refresh tag is I wouldn't bother with Javascript.
In either case the server isn't doing anything special; the browser
is doing all the work of fetching the second or third pages.
