In short: thanks! 66.35.236.25 works like a charm for me.

Now, the long story. supl.nokia.com ultimately resolves as 83.150.75.211 (fi.nokia.supl.geodns.fi.) with my home ADSL and mobile internet (which are different companies). Unsurprisingly supl.nokia.com does load balancing using geo-ip. In my case it points to a server that isn't willing to cooperate with supld.

Code:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;supl.nokia.com.			IN	A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
supl.nokia.com.		7731	IN	CNAME	nokia.supl.svc.ovi.com.
nokia.supl.svc.ovi.com.	22018	IN	CNAME	nokia.supl.geo.geodns.fi.
nokia.supl.geo.geodns.fi. 8336	IN	CNAME	fi.nokia.supl.geodns.fi.
fi.nokia.supl.geodns.fi. 300	IN	A	83.150.75.211

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
geodns.fi.		11931	IN	NS	ns1.geodns.fi.
geodns.fi.		11931	IN	NS	ns2.geodns.fi.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.geodns.fi.		72706	IN	A	83.145.248.145
ns2.geodns.fi.		418	IN	A	213.157.72.72
In a way I find it interesting that geodns.fi is owned by my ADSL ISP.

I also tried resolving supl.nokia.com using online tool. One of the services resolved supl.nokia.com to nokia.glpals.com (64.14.59.165). This is interesting because I remember seeing "glpals" in my own name server's logs in the past.

Now I only need to figure out why 83.150.75.211 isn't working.
