Edit you "HOSTS" file in your windows system folder to point to their IP address.  You will need to restart your browser after editing. (And if you are using Vista, you'll need to edit the file with Admin rights, not user rights)

Place the following line in your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
216.144.214.105   www.mameworld.net

It's an old school trick back during dialup days when ISPs (I forget who) used a crappy domain mirror. The trick is, you have to know the correct IP address and hope the server isn't on a dynamic one.
