# telnet rest.akismet.com 80
Trying 72.233.69.3...
Connected to rest.akismet.com (72.233.69.3).
Escape character is '^]'.

I was able to connect on port 80. If what spiral is saying is right you should be able to set the above IP in /etc/hosts and have it work ( though it will not be as redundant).

Before doing that I would make sure it at least works:
telnet 72.233.69.3 80
