Please forget about IP's for a second -- I've had those blocked for over a week with no problems and now
only have phorm.com blocked.
As I said above, switching to OpenDNS servers gives me connectivity back when phorm.com is blocked.

Yes, that's when I encounter problems and that's the only block in place right now -- "phorm.com".

I would say on the basis of your post alone that VM's DNS servers are cross-referencing with Phorm. However, i'd say it needs more investigation to be conclusive.

Yes, that seems most likely. I originally thought it was a DNS problem (described in my first post) because it looks just like one.
But what can we make out of every DNS lookup being bounced to somewhere in phorm.com? Is that part of the tech spec. on this equipment?
EDIT: And wait a minute. Phorm kit is not even supposed to be on VM's network, right? I'm sure I've seen VM responses that they are "still evaluating" and have no kit in place yet. Someone correct me if I'm wrong and VM haven't denied the kit is in-place/has been trialed/will be trialed.
