That would be my thought. It sounds like the DNS request is either getting lost every now and then, or somehow being blocked by the router.
Does it still do it if you type in the IP address of the page instead of the hostname. If not then it's probably the DNS server.
There are a couple of things that can be done to help the problem. The most effective would probably be to house a small DNS server on the inside of you firewall, or even on the computer itself. It would check that one first, then go to an external DNS server if your local one didn't have the IP.
For pages that you visit a lot it's most likely your best bet. It would also speedup the access time since you would have the IP address on the local machine.
