[cod] (cod5) WaW Master Server Down...again?

Is anyone else getting the following error on Server 2003 SP2:

DW_AUTHORIZING
********************
ERROR: Dedicated server authentication failure.

********************


I am only getting this error since a restart of the box yesterday where before there were 20 or so servers running without an issue. I have run a dedicated server on my XP pc and it works fine so it's not looking like master servers to me.

The master servers are managed by Activision, which makes the situation
quite weird, considering the power of the company...
By the way, remember they encountered the same kind of problem with
CoD4, the main difference here is that it's their entire "Online
service" (not just auth servers, but online profiles management too)
that's not, IMO, finished. The beta has also been put in place because
of it, it's the first time they use such EA-like system (will they make
the same errors ?)...
