What that says is that, while the domain is resolvable into an IP address, there is a router or server that is not passing on your request to the proper channels so that you may access it. I notice that while you did a traceroute on one domain, you tried to ping another. Are they the same site? They have radically different IP addresses (the numbers in the brackets). How long has this been going on? Have you tried to email them? Perhaps their IP address has changed recently, and things are not yet fully propogated netwide. From over here in Taiwan, I am able to ping navalhospital.com no problems, but cannot ping navalhospitaljax.com. A traceroute to navalhospitaljax.com also only gets part way there before timing out (19 hops, coincidentally). You could contact your internet provider, and give them this info, and/or contact the website admin and see what they have to say about it. The only other thing I could sugggest is try using a web proxy like www.anonymizer.com just to see if you can get to it by that channel. Good luck. I highly doubt it has anything to do with Safari.
