internal tools to bring back the backbone relied on DNS which relied on the backbone being up
So are you referring to same DNS servers sitting outside the backbone at the various PoPs? I'd imagine some internal DNS servers which stays in the backbone at use here, unless of course the FB engineers themselves were disconnected from those internal DNS servers.
