growing unreachable sites

Please bare with me if this is obvious, I am an unexperienced owner of
a new PM-3. Here is the problem:

After a while, certain sites start to come up that a dial-in user cannot
get to, through the portmaster. One such site is quicktime.apple.com.
On the local network to which the portmaster is connected, I can get to
the site just fine. A traceroute from the portmaster itself shows that
it can get to the site just fine. But a user dialed into the portmaster
cannot get to the site. Most other sites still work, but some do not. A
reboot of the PM-3 fixes the problem, at least for a while. Have not
experimented to see how long of a time period it works, but I cannot break
it by dialing in repeatedly, hitting the flakey sites, dialing in as
different users, etc. It just takes time. Any clues out there for
the clueless?

Thanks,
