He could edit his hosts file (/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts) and add an entry like: 127.0.0.1 <name_of_isp_mysql_server> This would make his computer try to connect to the (nonexistent) mysql server on his local computer. The connection refused should be returned immediately, and the app would probably go on its merry way. You wouldn't have your auditing mechanism anymore, though.
