Don't know how long it has been like it, but I notice that Google's public name servers 8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4 appear to be returning empty results for Facebook this morning. The result is a range of 'can't find website/connect' type errors.

Anyone else noticed this?

    I just switched name servers back to my ISP's and it all works nicely, but I don't really like them being able to log my queries.
