You could temporarily add an entry to your hosts file that tells your 
machine that mysite.com is 127.0.0.1

On Windows XP the hosts file is:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You will need to open it with your favorite text editor and add a line like:

127.0.0.1    mysite.com

Until you remove that line the system will think that mysite.com is your 
local machine.
