I prefer to use a generic error page, and redirect from there :
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Errors.aspx"/>
</system.web>
And, in errors.aspx :
errors.aspx
-----------------
<html>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
MyBase.Load
Dim errMessage As String = ""
Dim appException As System.Exception = Server.GetLastError()
If (TypeOf (appException) Is HttpException) Then
Dim checkException As HttpException = CType(appException, HttpException)
Select Case checkException.GetHttpCode
Case 400
errMessage &= "Bad request. The file size is too large."
Case 401
errMessage &= "You are not authorized to view this page."
Case 403
errMessage &= "You are not allowed to view that page."
Case 404
errMessage &= "The page you have requested can't be found."
Case 408
errMessage &= "The request has timed out."
Case 500
errMessage &= "The server can't fulfill your request."
Case Else
errMessage &= "The server has experienced an error."
End Select
Else
errMessage &= "The following error occurred<BR>" & appException.ToString
End If
ErrorMessage.Text = errMessage & "<BR>We're sorry for the inconvenience."
Server.ClearError()
End Sub
</script>
<body>
<hr>
<asp:label id="ErrorMessage" font-size="12" font-bold="true" runat=server/>
<hr>
<p>Return to <a href=http://yourserver.com/>our entry page</a>
</body>
</html>
---------------
Ymmv, of course, and you can add more info to errors.aspx to suit your needs.

<customErrors defaultRedirect="url" mode="On|Off|RemoteOnly">
<error statusCode="statuscode" redirect="url"/>
</customErrors>
Put "408" or the relevant error code in the 'statusCode' attribute.
