Thanks for the link. That problem looked very similar, but it turned out
that the problem was somewhere else.  But that thing did help identify
another host with the same problem (ad.doubleclick.net). =20
Apparently the user's DNS server is messed up somehow and for these
sites, it was blocking out.  The DNS lookup would timeout after 30 seconds,=
 but so
would net/http, so it would stop trying to download the page right as
DNS timeout out.  The solution was to increase the timeout period.
