If I remove my router and reset the Superhub to router mode, then I can accesss the site with no problem. Switch back and the problem returns. Hmm, so my router or the Superhub in modem mode is blocking something? So checking the settings in the router the only thing that seems likely is a page called "static routing tables" with the following entries,
Destination IP Subnet Mask Gateway Metric Interface
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 0 br0
81.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 eth2.2
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 81.109.124.1 1 eth2.2
These are non editable and not something I have set anywhere. If I factory reset the router the 81.xxx.xxx.xxx entries go away until I connect to the Superhub again at which point they reappear. So is this table is being populated from the Superhub?
My only clue/suspicion is the fact that both my ip address and the site address are in the 81.xxx.xxx.xxx range. Is it likely/possible that the entry for 81.0.0.0 Destination IP is thinking that all 81.x addresses are only on the Virgin network and is somehow being routed differently and not getting out to the real world? Told you I'm not an expert! This appears to be the only site I have trouble with and it used to be fine perhaps a year ago with the same setup.

I think you are right - increase your status to networking expert
The netmask that Virgin is providing looks wrong and this causes your router to believe it can access that website directly without going via Virgins gateway at 81.109.124.1.
Can you try a release and renew of your WAN side address on the router?
What are the details shown on the WAN address page (net mask and gateway)
Can you check the WAN details on the SH when in router mode?
