You can test it by reconfiguring your router temporarily to use 8.8.8.8 as the DNS server (instead of the comcast-supplied DNS). That's google's DNS server.

Does this mean that there are DNS out there that don't find the address for the Netgear servers?

Yes. I does mean that some ISP are morons and prohibiting or capturing some domains (beyond of certain pssible legal requirements) becuse the "think" these are insecure or whatever. Popular free and commercial dynamic DNS domains (some vendor specific ones, too) for example are caught. And because these and most consumer ISP don't understand that an Internet connection is used for more than Web browsing and with some luck to handle email, M2M communication is torpedized - becuase machines can't read some redirection Web pages, and deal with it accordingly.
