VZ FiOS DNS issues:

Sun Jan 22 16:10:17 UTC 2012

Any Verizon techs around today?  I don't know why you can't pass DNS traffic this morning, but it's the second time in as many weeks as it has been an issue, and it's rather annoying (Google is the example, but the exact same failure happens using any destination, on VZ's own or any other public DNS servers, phone support are of course, useless):
