In theory, it shouldnt - its actual DNS changes that take a while to propergate, due to TTL.
But if DNS simply fails due to the source servers being down, then it shoud all start working again as soon as the source servers are up.

Of course, they may get overloaded to start with.

That said, some of the reports suggest BGP changes were the problem.
In that case it can take time for more changes (ie fixes) to find their way to all routers.
