On my asp.net C# web page, how can I trap this specific error and redirect to a custom error page?

How are you connecting to your database? If it's through code then it's easy enough by simply wrapping your database code in a try...catch block. If you are using a SqlDataSource component then it might be a little more fiddly.

try catch sounds good, I'd like to only catch this specific error

Well, that error is reported as a SqlException along with all other Sql errors. If you want to isolate that single error itself then you would have to examine the details of the exception:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Your connection string");
try
{
conn.Open();
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
if (ex.Number == 53)
{
// redirect
}
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
