DNS is used before any connection protocol such as HTTP (which is used to fetch robots.txt)

If the IP shows the same for all 90+ sites it suggests there's something wrong with the DNS server for that domain, rather than regional censorship. Can you give me an example hostname?

Edit: if you mean 100% packet loss, it could just be that the webhost's firewall blocks pings.
