Blogger Status: 403 Forbidden?

Does anyone have any idea what's going on with Blogger Status site?

http://status.blogger.com/

It's been returning a 403 Forbidden error for quite some time now and yet it's still linked to from all over Blogger. The irony is that Google's cache says this:

<< Thursday, December 28, 2006

Some users are seeing forbidden (403) messages instead of their blogspot blogs. We are aware of this problem and are working on it.

Update, 4:40 am: This issue has been resolved. >>

http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:status.blogger.com

Can anyone else get to it?

Edit – It looks like this site on Blogspot could be a mirror:

http://blogger-status.blogspot.com/

Does anyone know if that is official?

FYI – the Atom feed for that mirror contains this URL:

http://blog.grogmaster.com/

That belongs to Pete Hopkins, the same one that posts to http://buzz.blogger.com so I guess it could be an ("unofficial") official mirror... especially since the cache of the Blogger Status Atom feed also references that blog and the http://blogger-status.blogspot.com URLs:

http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:status.blogger.com/atom.xml

Seems like a bit of a mess to me.

FYI: I'm seeing the status.blogger.com site fine, in the UK.

Weird. I can get to it through some US proxies but can't get to it from my browser in the UK. When I ping it, it's resolving to this domain and IP address (which I think is the one used for GAFYD):

ghs.l.google.com [72.14.207.121]
