I get what your saying now but there should still be no problem resolving
it.  Its not a configuration error. A name server should not have any
problems resolving either domain.

What I find strange is that the www.facebook.com A record is set for 30
seconds. Most of their DNS records are set at very low ttl. As a result they
must get a lot of DNS traffic. Maybe the problem is congestion at their end?
