Answer 1

Didn't find any possible solution how to do this in Apache.

Still, if you are using PHP, try playing with PHP register_shutdown_function function.

Sample code:

set_time_limit(1);
function shutdown () {
    if ( ! defined('FINISHED')) {
        header('Location: /timeout');
    }
}

register_shutdown_function('shutdown');

while (true) {}

define('FINISHED', 1);

Still this will be executed on fatal errors as well and after manual die() or exit() calls inside your scripts.
