Ouch.

I assume no indication of port 53 packets getting blocked in the kernel 
log?

Maybe it's just random weirdness, Ben, but I'd be tempted to note down a 
few key IP addresses (dotted quads, e.g. nameservers, systems which will 
respond to pings on your ISPs subnet, systems beyonfd that) to test it 
out if it goes down again next month.
