Looks like anything running off of AWS DNS is dead right now.

  $ dig @ns-666.awsdns-19.net cloudfront.net

Times out for that server as well as for all of the nameservers listed for cloudfront.net.

Route53 still is returning answers for records that are not aliases to Cloudfront.

If you have an alias to a cloudfront distribution the answers aren't being provided by the Route53 servers.

You can verify this with a dig:

dig mx [your domain like domain.com] - will probably still work.

dig a [name of alias like www.domain.com] - isn't working.

My Route53 domains are ok.
