Also, it really does look to me like someone's hosed the DNS records from inside, whether that's a misconfiguration by accident or if someone's done it to take it offline, will remain to be seen.
There is nothing wrong with teh DNS records. They still exist but systems can't access them due to a config update on the BGP routing.

someone at Facebook caused an update to be made to the company’s Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) records. BGP is a mechanism by which Internet service providers of the world share information about which providers are responsible for routing Internet traffic to which specific groups of Internet addresses.
