I've been experiencing some strangeness with this. It seems to work now.
Though for a day I had switched to Google's nameservers to get on with
things.

Does anyone know if there were any DNS changes made recently and some
slow to update DNS caches would have affected me? If no changes were
made recently, I see no reason why I would have experienced this.

I was thinking how I would maybe need to make my own local mirrors in
case of this kind of trouble in the future.
