While you may think it irrelevant, am I correct?

I'd be hesitant to blame Apple.

Try changing your DNS servers. Go to System Preferences/Network/, on 
the left, click on whatever interface you are currently using, click 
Advanced, using the DNS tab, change your DNS servers to:

66.174.92.14
69.78.96.14

BTW: Is one of your current DNS servers dimmed and unchangeable?

Yes it is.

Nope. That is not how DNS works.

The DNS server is the first place that is queried. Else DNS would not 
work in networks where the domain administrator wanted you computer 
to go where he wanted it to go.
