Conditional Pagination

In the Reference pages add a reference page.
Insert a Graphic Frame, almost the size of your regular page size
(less a line or two)  and name it something relative to its use, like
Intentionally Blank.
Put a text (with the text tool) above the frame with the name of the frame.
Into the graphic frame insert with the text tool the text "This page
intentinoally blank".
Align the text as you find sutable (E.G. center both horizontally and
vertically).

Go to the Body Pages. Make a specific paragraph relatively named for
use for this intentionally blank page (E.G. TPIB, ILB or something
like that). In Advanced scroll either Frame above or Frame below (not
both) and click the name of the reference frame you just made. Then
apply this by manually adding (or changing) a paragrap to this
specific paragraph tag.

If what you want is to automatically apply this without your manual
intervention, maybe someone could write a FrameScript script...
