pfSense DNS problems - won't resolve certain domains

I currently have the following build installed:

2.1-RELEASE (i386) 
built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:44 EDT 2013 
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11

Running on a Watchguard Firebox X-Core 1250e (for the last week and a half)


I have inadvertent DNS issues, and it seems like it's just community.spiceworks.com both on HTTP and HTTPS (that shouldn't matter because it's just an IP) When it doesn't let me get to the community. I can still get to basically every other website I try. I can search on Google, and click on results. 


At the point where I loose the community I can go into the  General Settings and change the first DNS server to another public DNS and then renew my IP to get the new DNS server from DHCP. Then the community will work for another couple of minutes. It seems like every 2-3 minutes after I change DNS's I lose the community. If I change wireless networks (to my mobile hotspot or something else) everything works as expected, it seems to just be my local wifi. My home AP is a Meraki MR12.


This seems like a really weird scenario.
