Found out the cause; If you are using SLT ADSL; you cannot reach any of the google hosted contents using a custom domain name. SLT as usual; has screwed it up.
May be they are taking advise from China and are in the process of blocking out Google.. or whatever. In all accounts.. fuck SLT; they seem to even block the Google's DNS server IPs.. I was using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as my DNS settings and I was experiencing a lot of failures in DNS resolving. Didn't suspect SLT. I just switched to SLT DNS servers and lot of things got corrected. But who knows.. may be they are monitoring my internet usage too.
You could use a custom proxy for now to access all those unreachable blogs with custom domains.
But long term... complain to SLT. Make demands. Or let's just switch ISPs.. Dialog?
Yeah this shit is very annoying. This has happened before but hasn't lasted this long. Hopefully this is not a government enforced block.
