Re: facebook DNS

[Patrick Darden <darden () armc org>]

Whois query gets us:
   NS2.FACEBOOK.COM   204.74.67.132
   DNS05.SF2P.TFBNW.NET  
   DNS04.SF2P.TFBNW.NET  
   NS1.FACEBOOK.COM   204.74.66.132

both 204.74.67.132 and 204.74.66.132 are pingable, but DNS queries on 
them directly get various answers:

nslookup www.facebook.com 204.74.66.132
*** Can't find www.facebook.com: No answer

and
nslookup www.harvard.edu 204.74.66.132
** server can't find www.harvard.edu: SERVFAIL

This tells me the DNS is set up and semi-working, but incorrectly.  It 
answers correctly for a query for a domain outside its purview, but with 
a "No answer" for stuff it should know.
