My cached results seem to have a cname of "star.c10r.facebook.com", which works:

Not only was the site down for me in San Francisco but the Likes count buttons on several blogs were not loading. Can't the like button at least be cached?

You can load FB buttons and stuff without affecting your site at all, even if FB has DNS issues or is blocked by a firewall https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151176218703920 You load the JS SDK using the "fif" pattern. If it fails to load, none of the tags like etc get replaced by iframes, so no errors on the page. `DOMContentLoaded` and `onload` on your page fire as usual. It's as if the site doesn't even…

Just be aware that doing that gives FB a chance to sniff cookies, referrer and other stuff on your own page.

Of course, FB is completely trustworthy with any data you give them access to, so nothing wrong will ever happen.
