facebook not loading.

hi,
inherited a new company.
found they could not access facebook.com

found in their DC- dns- they got facebook.com as a forwardlookup zone and got host record"a" which points to 127.0.0.1  - - is this the issue, why they cannot access facebook ? ?

should I change anything or just delete this zone facebook.com to make it work ? ? ?

when I acces facebook.com- this is what am getting. - plz look for images.

You technically "can" delete the zone to enable access to facebook, but again: the "should" is definitely not for us to answer.

ok. thanks. I checked with users, deleted the zone. did flush dns, seems to be working now.
Did you check with management? They most likely disabled Facebook on purpose... Unless when you say you got the company, you ARE the management and not just hired support people...
