haven't tried to nail it down (been nailing other coffins) but we
definitely saw facebook related issues over the past hour. dev teams were
crying about facebook timeouts and delays as well.

Re: Facebook [ In reply to ]
Facebook.com is not resolving from quite a few DNS servers. On Verizon FiOS here, and it is failing. Google's DNS seems to resolve it fine, and my Verizon wireless phone seems to have no trouble accessing it via the app or the mobile web page. There are quite a number of folks on Twitter noting that Facebook is unreachable for them as well.

Subject: Re: [outages] Facebook

Facebook.com<http://Facebook.com> is not resolving from quite a few DNS servers. On Verizon FiOS here, and it is failing. Google's DNS seems to resolve it fine, and my Verizon wireless phone seems to have no trouble accessing it via the app or the mobile web page. There are quite a number of folks on Twitter noting that Facebook is unreachable for them as well.

Re: Facebook [ In reply to ]
I could have provided dig +trace output but this is shorter and reads
easier.

It looks like records get looked up as follows (and I'm excluding the
root server lookups, i.e. . --> .com --> facebook.com):

facebook.com. 147814 IN NS b.ns.facebook.com.
facebook.com. 147814 IN NS a.ns.facebook.com.

And the A records:

a.ns.facebook.com. 172573 IN A 69.171.239.12
b.ns.facebook.com. 172573 IN A 69.171.255.12

The SOA for facebook.com (domain itself) hasn't been changed since
2012/12/07 (if SOA serial is truly kept in lines with the YYYYMMDD
model).

69.171.239.12 when queried for any records for www.facebook.com
results in a CNAME response to star.facebook.com. It's probably named
"star" to indicate asterisk (*):

www.facebook.com. 338 IN CNAME star.facebook.com.
star.facebook.com. 1238 IN NS glb2.facebook.com.
star.facebook.com. 1238 IN NS glb1.facebook.com.

And the A records:

glb1.facebook.com. 3038 IN A 69.171.239.10
glb2.facebook.com. 3038 IN A 69.171.255.10

glb obviously stands for "global load balancer", though I have no idea
what device they use (F5s, Citrix Netscalers, Alteons (god forbid), or
something home-grown).

Given the below analysis from Terry, it looks to me like:

a) one or both of their load balancers may have been overloaded briefly
and did not respond to DNS queries (or possibly something at layer 2
or layer 3 was affecting this)
b) one or more of the nameservers *behind* glb[12].facebook.com were
overloaded or broken in some way, or layer 2/3 was responsible for
breakage (between glbs and nameservers)

The only people who know for certain are -- yup -- the Facebook folks.

And naturally this is me doing my testing from a single source, so its
possible they use anycast to distribute some of their load, in which
case the above analysis (despite speculative) is still correct, except
what actual devices/networks are involved would be different.

You're welcome. :-)

Re: Facebook [ In reply to ]
Yeah, I think my result was a red herring. a.ns.facebook.com and b.ns.facebook.com still can't resolve the A record for star.facebook.com, despite things seemingly being back to normal now. The NS record is what's key and by the time I looked at it, it was fixed.

Why some people feel the need to get so clever with DNS is beyond me. How about just resolving the A records directly from the facebook.com NS servers, instead of via a CNAME to another group of DNS servers? Would that be so difficult? Then you're shocked when there's an outage.

Re: Facebook [ In reply to ]
There *is* no A record for star.facebook.com -- there's only a CNAME,
which in turn induces per-record NS lookups. So this is normal.

As for your 2nd question -- this opens a very large Pandora's box when
it comes to DNS engineering and operational deployments. I can think of
quite a few reasons there should be separate load balancers for the
"main" facebook.com domain and ns.facebook.com bits, and the actual LBs
which return A records for the webservers that return web content.
Effectively what you're proposing is just to have lots of LBs handling
the DNS queries for everything, rather than segregate/delineate things
a bit more. I can assure you there are justifications for this, but
since I don't work at Facebook, I can't provide those.

What I've seen today is not that complex of a setup, though depending on
what LBs they use, I might not particularly enjoy looking at those
configurations. But what's shown here, at least if using a Citrix
NetScaler, isn't that complex.

All that said -- it is absolutely possible for them to remove use of the
star.facebook.com CNAME and just have a series of LBs respond with
appropriate A records when faced with a www.facebook.com A record query.

However, given that there's quite a lot of crapola-nonsense that falls
under the facebook.com domain (I'm talking about the equivalent of a
content delivery network, their image hosting stuff, and God knows what
else today -- I haven't used Facebook since January 2011), due to "Web
2.0" nutballs always wanting to make a mess of things ( ;-) ), I'm not
too surprised by the above.
