Facebook has been encountering some DNS issues this afternoon that are making it unavailable to many users. The site’s Domain Name System servers are not directing folks to its site, causing it to appear as if the network is down completely.
As of this writing, it’s been down for some 20 minutes at the very least, and there are a lot of people that are pretty upset. When the DNS server (or servers) of a site begin to stop returning.
This appears to be the first major outage since October 11, when Facebook went down in several countries worldwide.
We’ve reached out to Facebook to see what the issue might be, and we’ll update this post when we hear more.
