Bad day for the Social Notworking King

Mark Zuckerburg was having a bad day yesterday after a whistleblower revealed dark deeds and his glorious social notworking empire crashed to its knees due to a bizarre DNS flaw.

Zuckerberg's personal wealth has fallen by more than $6 billion in just a few hours as investors moaned..

The problem started at 11:30 am Eastern time, when some Facebook links stopped working with major DNS failures at Facebook being the apparent cause.

However, it soon became clear that the problem was more than a bog-standard DNS error. Facebook-owned Instagram was also down, and its DNS services -- which are hosted on Amazon rather than being internal to Facebook's own network -- were functional.

Instagram and WhatsApp were reachable but showed HTTP 503 (no server is available for the request) failures instead, an indication that while DNS worked and the services' load balancers were reachable, the application servers that should be feeding the load balancers were not.
