Are you running a proxy on your firewall? Do your firewall logs
note any blocks (you ARE logging all blocks, right)? Telnetting
to the www port of that site works or doesn't work?
This site loads just fine for me, and I'm NATing using a firewall
running an older post-3.7 snapshot. Gut instinct tells me you have
a NAT "oops".
