Fedora/RedHat people would not be that stupid.

In any event, "iptables -L" and "iptables -L -t NAT" would tell you
anything you need to know about firewall rules.

Traceroute away from crosswire.org toward any of the addresses in
question dies, not on crosswire.org itself, but 2 hops away:

[charcoal at www ~]$ traceroute 196.215.26.11
traceroute to 196.215.26.11 (196.215.26.11), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  ip-140-154-249.phx.extremezone.com (64.140.154.249)  2.332 ms  2.748 ms  3.204 ms
 2  fe1-0-0.phx.extremezone.com (208.129.255.1)  1.432 ms  1.426 ms  1.382 ms

If there's a firewall with a bias against South Africa, it's in the
middle of, or perhaps at the edge of, extremezone.com.
