What exactly do you have in mind when you mention "dynamic" meta tags? Do you just mean using a meta refresh tag? <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://www.example.com";> I believe that would be the best solution to Bruce's problem. This meta tag can be used on the page with the information to be shown and automatically redirected to the URL specified in the tag after n seconds. In the above example, redirection to www.example.com will happen after 2 seconds.
