dns failing cf proxy

hi all, i've added a new DNS record as proxied in cloudflare. when I request the URL the browser just hangs. however if I hardcode the IP address to what i used in the DNS record, its fine, ie.

# hangs indefinitely
curl https://my.site.com:PORT 

# works!
curl --resolve "my.site.com:PORT:RAWIP" https://my.site.com:PORT


any clues?
