Looks like it's back here. However, they clearly have more problems.
At the moment, the two name servers that the youtube.com domain is
delegated to,

dns1.sjl.youtube.com.   1H IN A         208.65.152.201
dns2.sjl.youtube.com.   1H IN A         208.65.152.137

reply ok. However, they reply that the youtube.com domain is served by

youtube.com.            1H IN NS        dns1.sjl.youtube.com.
youtube.com.            1H IN NS        dns2.sjl.youtube.com.
youtube.com.            1H IN NS        dns3.sjl.youtube.com.
youtube.com.            1H IN NS        sjl-ins2.sjl.youtube.com.

but reply with NXDOMAIN when asked for the A of sjl-ins2.sjl.youtube.com.
