If a reboot cleared up the problem, then your local DNS cache was messed up, and there are terminal commands for fixing that: In 10.5 it's: lookupd -flushcache On lower versions it's: dscacheutil -flushcache If it happens regularly, this could be something much more serious, something broken in your DNS settings or some sort of DNS spoofing attack. Absolutely worst case scenario your ISP has been criminally negligent and hasn't updated it's DNS software to patch the horrible flaw that was discovered this summer, and they're being hacked. Here is a good article on the subject:http://www.technologyreview.com/web/21537/?a=f (use bugme/bugmenot for the username password.) that has the single scariest line I've ever read in an IT article: I am speaking to you over an unsecure cell phone.
