I had the same problem a year or so ago.  It was consistent on all =
devices, although the problem domains tended to be different on each =
device.  I thought it was my provider's DNS and called them.  They sent =
out a tech who had just corrected a similar problem earlier that day.  =
He replaced my modem/router and the problem went away.  In my situation, =
resolving the problem domains using the modem/router's internal client =
worked fine.  Using my clients didn't.  Using 8.8.8.8 worked =
consistently from all.
