On OS X 10.9 (but no prior version), every now and then, I start getting strange network errors. I can still ping, but anything that requires actual content (like a web page) completely stops.
For example:
$ ping 80.68.93.197
PING 80.68.93.197 (80.68.93.197): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 80.68.93.197: icmp_seq=0 ttl=46 time=175.291 ms
64 bytes from 80.68.93.197: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=172.519 ms
^C

$ curl http://dailyjs.com/

It seems similar to this message thread, but I don't see an answer there.
I've tried deleting the ethernet interface and re-adding it, but that doesn't seem to help.
I've tried deleting the ethernet interface and turning on wifi, which shows the same symptoms.
A reboot might fix the problem, but it's rather intrusive. Any ideas?

In my case there was only one host giving me this issue.
sudo route delete example.comfixed it instantly, no reboot.
