Facebook more specific via Level3 ?

Hi,

got the same from Kiev, Ukraine:

dig fbcdn.com
fbcdn.com.		300	IN	A	31.13.74.1
which is slow and routed through USA

and
dig fbcdn.com @8.8.8.8
fbcdn.com.		299	IN	A	31.13.93.3
which is fast and routed through Germany

Same is for IPv6.

Is there any solutions without dirty hacks?
