[Bug 1339387] [NEW] Can't lookup DNS for akamaihd.net

[mrs_sheep]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04 on ThinkPad W530

My Ubuntu machine can't lookup the DNS for akamaihd.net. I tried
different WiFis, other computers do work. All other domains (seem to)
work. Accesing through proxies work and online services can recognize
it's DNS (which I can ping if entering the IP-address by hand).

$ host akamaihd.net # does not terminate
$ ping akamaihd.net # does not terminate, no output

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf # + reboot did not make a difference
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean # makes no difference

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1
search localdomain

Modifying the /etc/hosts file fixes the issue.
(E.g. I added "77.109.171.19 fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net" and then that partial service worked.)
