207.210.201.125 is the IP I resolved.

It appears to be a cPanel controlled virtual server, owned by
Endurance, which, interestingly, has offices in Burlington and
Waltham. Oh -- they're the corporate parent of Constant Contact,
Hostgator, Sitebuilder, and a bunch of others. 

The connectivity is via Cogent, and that might or might not be
the issue: Cogent has a history of getting into spats with other
major ISPs; it wouldn't be too surprising if there was a game of
one-upsmanship going on between Comcast and Cogent. But I don't
know, I'm just speculating.
