Today, all of a sudden, my appengine app became inaccessible. After poking 
around a little, I realized BSNL  (one of the largest ISPs in India) seems 
to be blocking ghs.google.com. All other sites including *.appspot.com seem 
to be working fine. The URL mapping via a CNAME record is the one that is 
failing.

Here is a PING to ghs.google.com:

Here are others reporting the same issue on the Google sites support forum:

Is anyone else facing this issue? Is there any workaround for this? 

Thanks,

P.S: Things were fine until a few hours ago.
