So it looks like Hurricane Electric's resolvers for their tunnel users are able to provide IPv6 answers for facebook.com now.  Does anyone know if this is the result of a DNS whitelisting program Facebook is running (a la Google), a special arrangement with HE, or something else?  

If it is a whitelisting program, is there somewhere to submit an ASN or resolver for approval?  (some Googling turned nothing up)
