Yes of course

Reasemble some kind of live distro, not just CentOs, like knoppix or Gentoo 
Live DVD. Remove default gateway and add the name resolution of your webpage 
to /etc/hosts, and of course add route just only for this webpage.

I use to do it on my systems, and for me like other people suggest, a DVD4.3GB 
is enough, no hard drive involved. or PXEBoot if you are on some kind of lan.
