I got a mail that Facebook was leaving NLIX. Maybe someone botched the
script so they took down all BGP sessions instead of just NLIX and now they
can't access the equipment to put it back... :-)

I know what this is.....  They forgot to update the credit card on their
godaddy account and the domain lapsed.  I guess it will be facebook.info
when they get it back online.  The post mortem should be an interesting
read.

Normally not worth mentioning random $service having an outage here, but
this will undoubtedly generate a large volume of customer service calls.

Appears to be failure in DNS resolution.
