Joel - out of interest, can you run 'tracert docs.evergreen-ils.org' or
'traceroute docs.evergreen-ils.org' (depending on your operating system)
and show us what route Telstra (likely) is trying to give you to get to
the docs host?

Note that for me, plain old UDP-based traceroute was getting filtered:

bash$ traceroute docs.evergreen-ils.org
traceroute to docs.evergreen-ils.org (142.222.145.73), 30 hops max, 60
byte packets

I tried ICMP-based traceroute, but it seems that that gets filtered too
(and 'ping docs.evergreen-ils.org' confirms that ICMP is getting
filtered by the destination).

I had to use the TCP traceroute option to get to docs.evergreen-ils.org:

bash$ traceroute -T docs.evergreen-ils.org
traceroute to docs.evergreen-ils.org (142.222.145.73), 30 hops max, 60
byte packets

I'm not sure if this is of any help at all towards debugging the
problem, but it would be interesting to at least see if you can use
TCP-based traceroute to hit docs.evergreen-ils.org (aka
libdog.mohawkcollege.ca). 

Actually, can you get to mohawkcollege.ca? That would be interesting to
know as well...
