FACEBOOK and related properties are DNS-down since 1140 or so EDT.
The root cause appears to be a BGP screwup, and this, from, a mailing list
I follow regularly:
"""
I'm hearing -- NOT CONFIRMED -- that it was not an attack but was a

requiring using physical backup locations with direct infrastructure
access. Again, NOT CONFIRMED.
"""
They're still offline as of 1515EDT, and *we all know about it now*. :-)
Please refrain from postings on the main list about this unless you have new
factual data not already posted; speculate (yeah, I know :-) on -discuss.
Remember: you are making 15,000 copies.
