But it wasn't just their DNS subnets that were pulled, I thought. I'm obviously really confused. Anycast to a DNS server makes sense that they'd pull out if they couldn't contact the backend. But I thought that almost all of their routes to the backend were pulled? That is, the DFZ was emptied of FB routes.People have been anycasting DNS server IPs for years (decades?). So, no.
Well, as someone else said, DNS wasn't the problem...it was just one of the more noticeable casualties. Whatever they did broke the network rather completely, and that took out all of their DNS, which broke lots of other things that depend on DNS.
