I just have phorm.com blocked at the minute and am seeing the same behaviour.
I should add that I've had those blocks up for over a week with no problem until about 10 pm last night when I noticed some sites were unreachable. I shutdown the computer after poking around for a few minutes and when I booted up about an hour and a half later there was no connectivity. That's when I decided to unblock those addresses just to see -- to my surprise, all connectivity returned.
Same for today.

At the moment these are how phorm/webwise/oix resolve: 
 
phorm.com     88.208.250.66 
webwise.com  88.208.250.66 
oix.net           207.44.186.90 
 
Try just blocking those (2) IPs...
