For the redirect part see the deny_info directive.

But I do not have any good answer on how to provide the bypass function.
What I have done in similar situations is to require authentication to be
able to browse restricted sites (assuming authentication is not normally
required to be able to browse), with a suitable deny_info page describing
why access was denied, shown if the authentication is cancelled.

Using a redirector may be possible, but will quite likely break many
sites as it will only work for sites using relative URLs, and you also
risk other users finding out about this feature of your
redirector unless you carefully design proper access controls.
