You got it.  It's just GraniteCanyon.  GraniteCanyon is my DNS host as
well, and I experience the same problems.  My HTTP server is down at the
moment for other reasons, but next time you can't access your site, try to
ping apt.mudpoet.org - If you get the same 'unknown host' message, you can
guarantee it's them.  My website (when it was up, and when it gets back
up) is a low-traffic site, so I'm not too worried about it.  You, however,
maintain a couple of fairly large projects, so I image you get quite a few
hits -- if GraniteCanyon continues to be 'flakey', you might look into
another DNS hosting service.

Good luck!
