[vox-tech] Internet Connectivity Weirdness

Over the past few days, I've been unable to reach my work website, 
http://www.extensiondlc.net, from home.  I can reach just about every other 
website in the world just fine; it's just that one (and its various 
subdomains) that are causing the problems.  Furthermore, I can reach the 
host, http://whsecure.net, just fine, but no subdomains.  This problem is 
only happening at home.

When I try traceroute from any of the computers on my network, I get this:

richard at seamus:~
$ traceroute extensiondlc.net
traceroute to extensiondlc.net (66.232.56.196), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1 * * *
 2 * * *
 3 * * *
 4 * * *
...
30 * * *

I get the same output no matter which site I try to traceroute to.

In my experience, if I get timeouts at every instance in a traceroute, it 
means my connection is down; yet, as I mentioned, I can get to just about 
everywhere on the web except for that one domain just fine.

I have already contacted my DSL provider, who insisted (naturally) that 
nothing was wrong, and that they could not escalate my call.

Can anyone offer some insight?\
