[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1706755, member: 9096"] Well, Facebook had a MAJOR fustercluck this morning... I'll give as much detail as I understand.. it's quite a sequence of events, and I'll try and describe the best I can. So Facebook has static IP addresses for all their servers (A unique network address), DNS servers convert the name (like Facebook.com) to an IP address.. Now there are registries that keep track of DNS servers, domain names, etc, and facebook has their own DNS servers AND their own registry. Now somehow, someone did something to corrupt something along the way, so the ENTIRE internet doesn't know where Facebook.com is... Now comes the really funny part.. all the administration of the servers is done remotely through Facebook.com... but they can't get to facebook.com to administrate and fix the changes... It gets better though... Their buildings are all key-card accessed, and they use the internet, specifically through facebook.com, so they can't even PHYSICALLY get into their buildings because of this! They have a serious case of the mondays for sure! [/QUOTE]
