Blacklists and inaccessible URLs

Hi All,

I've got a rather strange problem for which I need to provide some
proof. There is a particular website that is inaccessible to all but a
few people locally, but anyone who tries to connect to it from an
overseas location is able to see it.

I believe that either :
1. the web administrator has a blacklist of IP addresses that drops
connections from everyone except a few authorized people
2. the firewall is configured to accept connections from only a few
authorized hosts.

Short of calling the web administrator (who may not entertain my
enquiries or may report me as a suspected hacker), is there a way for me
to find out, or prove that this is the case?

Thanks in advance!
