esri.virtualearth.VETiledLayer was having a problem. It started around 7pm PST and ended 11:15pm. Apps with a VE layer weren't loading. The GET to http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/veadaptor/production/services/imagery/getmetadata?token= (token and callback of url removed) was throwing the following error after timing out: error: "500", message: "The remote name could not be resolved: 'dev.virtualearth.net'", details: []. After that failed the following came up in console: Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMHTMLDivElement.removeChild]. esri.Map crashes while the rest of app loads normally.
My apps locally and remotely across several servers; both desktop and mobile were having the issue. The VE Layer sample at the API, other samples and code gallery apps with VE were experiencing the same issue.
Thought you guys on the back-end should know. Keep up the good work.
