Web: multiple locations Service disruption caused by firewall issue

About an hour ago we deployed a firewall update that had the unintended side effect of blocking our resolving DNS servers.

This caused various issues on customer sites on shared hosting, usually showing up as a "504 Gateway Timeout" error.

The issue has been resolved and all customer sites should be working now as they were prior to the change.
