I thought it might be an MTU problem:

I set my MTU to 1300, but that hasn't helped.

[gouda:root]/home/alex/acatysmoof.com/services# ifconfig -a
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1300
        options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
        ether 00:1c:c0:36:85:62
        inet 24.205.141.134 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 24.205.141.135
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

DNS is working fine everywhere, so I don't think thats it. PTR is fine, reverse lookups work fine.

I've googled my brains out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Intermittent network connectivity problems could be a firewall problem or an actual physical connectivity issue. Presumably your ISP can run a line quality test or something for your DSL/cable/T1/whatever link. tcpdump might give some insight, also....
