Weird issue; This is a Korea Net (KORNIC) network that Facebook.com was resolving to on Windows Server 2003 DNS Server Cache. Cleared DNS Server cache, dumped workstation cache (ipconfig /flushdns && ipconfig /registerdns) and it’s resolving properly now.

Lookup against local DNS server:

nslookup www.facebook.com
Server:  mydomain.local
Address:  10.3.0.254

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.facebook.com
Address:  59.24.3.173

Lookup against Google:

nslookup www.facebook.com 8.8.8.8
Server:  vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address:  4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.facebook.com
Address:  69.63.181.16

I am researching this a little further.  Not sure how this record got polluted — if it actually did get polluted.  Here’s some WHOIS output for this rogue address:
