This depends on whether they have multiple addresses for their site, but
worth a try... Put this line in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1  www6.websearch2.bigpond.com

Now any redirect to theirURL will simply point at your machine - if you
have apache running you will see a 404. If not, you'll get an "Unable to
connect.."

Unless they use an actual IP number, I guess....
