Yeah, it's a possibility. It seems odd it would only display this buggy behaviour with one domain, but bugs can be tricky. It's also not clear if it's just certain geographical areas that are affected or not.

I know some people have said they have phorm.com blocked and have no problems, but it might be area dependant. Also, it only seems to happen if you're using the default NTL DNS servers. The issue disappears with phorm.com blocked via Comodo if I switch to another DNS server. So, if some of those not seeing a problem are using non NTL DNS servers that would make sense.
