I don't believe that this is related to what most people are reporting. For one thing, most of the symptoms reported here actually indicate that a response was received (otherwise the browser behavior would be perhaps a time-out and then certainly a browser-supplied error page).

For another, none of the IPs you show are tied to www.perlmonks.org (nor www.perlmonks.com, since it uses exactly the same IP addresses, nor versions w/o the "www." prefix).

Only the last one even has a reverse DNS entry (at the moment, from here). It appears to be ads.perlmonks.org, a hostname that I know nothing about. It appears to host a bad version of the site (scary). (Update: Ah, it'd be good to improve that reverse IP entry. Sorry I missed matching that one IP.)

At a guess, did you get these IPs by looking at what your browser said it was waiting for while it appeared to be trying to load this web site? I am guessing that those are IPs of advertisement servers.

Just FYI, if anybody wants to report network connectivity problems, then 'ping' results are fairly useless. traceroute (tracert on Windows) results can actually be somewhat informative.
