Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2009-04-21 21:43:03 UTC
Created attachment 340634 [details]
strace output of traceroute login.facebook.com

Description of problem:

I've been experiencing time outs while trying to connect to login.facebook.com
and some other sites.. ( seems to be site or fqdn specific ) 

Now both traceroute and the host command seem to be affected by this well odd behaviour which suggest some common element they both use ( not traceroute nor the host command ) and hopefully we can flush this bug out in the open.. 

When I run traceroute login.facebook.com it takes traceroute about 20 to 25
seconds to display the the first ( 1 ) entry vs it works immediately when running traceroute facebook.com.

When running host login.facebook.com it shows the ip address for login.facebook.com then errors out with 
";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached"

Now ping and dig response very well.. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

latest rawhide as of the date filing this bug.

How reproducible:

Always when running traceroute login.facebook.com and host login.facebook.com

Steps to Reproduce:
1. the above.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Weirdness 

Expected results:

Happyness

Duplicated on Debian and f10 looks like it's an broken dns setup on facebooks half.. Closing..
