Christopher,

     you can create a new block containing links to an outside
site, and position this block to appear above (or below)
the existing navigation (menu) block.

then type the title of the block and hyperlink(s) to the
site(s) you want.  Save the block and then position
it relative to the Navigation block on the administer > blocks
page.

I suspect that something is going wrong with your ISP's
name service configuration.  Perhaps they have some kind
of load balancing, and one of the addresses is not properly
configured.
