 Thanks Ryan…

 involved in the problem you're seeing.
 I don't belive it is that. It's just like running any local dns, like
 dnsmasq, etc… Using 127.0.0.1 as the DNS and the program reach for the
 selected service instead.

 it looks like you're running OS X 10.7, ...
 Yes, 10.7 it is.

 > It may be unrelated, but ever since I set up a MacPorts build machine
 for 32-bit Mac OS X 10.6 in 2016 it has experienced intermittent kernel
 panics. Very often this occurs when building perl modules, and often the
 crash log shows that ping was the active process. I haven't seen the
 problem on our 64-bit build machines for 10.6 or later. But maybe there is
 a bug in ping, or a bug in the way that MacPorts calls it, that is only
 seen on specific computer configurations running old OS versions.

 This might be something. The reason I changed the DNS was because I saw in
 my “Little Snitch” window that it got terminated at the same time it
 stopped working… but also, the `mach_kernel` - which maybe makes it
 related, since you mentioned the kernel panics.

 I took a screenshot of that too, at the time:

 So, perhaps it's somewhat related, since it was a perl port.
