[Twisted-Python] Web Proxy that does something different once a day

[Andy Fundinger]

I'm not sure if this is the level you need an answer on, but I would put a
dictionary in the proxy keyed by IP address and with a value of the last
time that user was forced to the intranet site.  Check that against the
current time and a 16 hour offset and send a redirect message if it's out of
date.  Hoping someone else chimes in with how to stick a redirect into a
proxy, glancing at the code I'm not sure how to tell you to do that, though
it's clearly possible.
