Try adding the following line to /etc/hosts

217.160.28.134 		 www.adox.de

That should allow you to visit the site as /etc/hosts should be tried
before performing a dns lookup. You may need to restart firefox. You
probably don't want to leave this entry in /etc/hosts as it will
override DNS when/if the domain fixes their DNS records.
