Hello, I faced a similar problem when trying to access my facebook account. AFAIK, the facebook account is using the Jabber/XMPP protocol; and that protocol may use various DNS queries, which others don't use (SRV, et al.). In Precise Pangolin a local DNS resolver, dnsmasq, was introduced; all DNS traffic is handled by this program. Is it possible, that dnsmasq does not handle SRV requests? As I am running a local bind9 server anyways, I deactivated dnsmasq completely and can now access my facebook account without any problems.
