Sorry, not to belabor the point but here's the traceroute output for the same IP when the site is up (note that I'm doing the traceroute from a different location but the last couple of hops is my concern here):

Code:
1    1 1 0   70.84.211.97 61.d3.5446.static.theplanet.com 
2    0 0 0   70.87.254.1 po101.dsr01.dllstx5.theplanet.com 
3    1 0 0   70.85.127.105 po51.dsr01.dllstx3.theplanet.com 
4    0 0 0   70.87.253.9 et3-1.ibr04.dllstx3.theplanet.com 
5   40 40 40   70.87.253.193 c1.fd.5746.static.theplanet.com 
6   40 40 41   206.223.116.20 rt0sj-equinix.cl.shawcable.net 
7   73 73 73   66.163.77.69 rc2bb-pos0-7-2-0.vc.shawcable.net 
8   63 64 63   66.163.69.190 ra2wh-tge1-1.vc.shawcable.net 
9   64 64 64   64.251.87.170 rx0wh-net-nation.vc.bigpipeinc.com 
10  63 63 63   64.40.105.25  
11  64 63 64   64.40.98.181 hostwaydcs.com

Here, the device at 64.40.105.25 routes to the final destination correctly. Whereas, in the first traceroute i posted, it goes through 5 hosts that don't respond to pings then ends up at a host w/ a different IP. Does this mean 64.40.105.25 is the problem?
