Starwood Preferred Guest - Parts of Westin website down

Has anyone else noticed that http://www.westin.com/ has been down the last few days? (Returning Error 404 when accessed?) The same applies for http://www.starwood.com/westin/ and https://www.starwood.com/westin/ but not for
https://www.starwood.com/westin/search/index.html?back=-1 (linked from starwood.com frontpage)

andersja, you might want to clear your web browser and try it again. http://www.westin.com/ works fine from here, but it does change over to http://www.starwood.com/westin/ once the page loads.

I have not been able to get to any of the hotel direct webpages for a couple days either - no matter what the means (ie, www.starwood.com/westin, (http://www.starwood.com/westin,) or www.westin.com (http://www.westin.com) , etc.... with any of the SPG hotel sites.

I have not been able to access the Westin web page on my Internet Explorer browser, but I have been able to access it with Netscape and AOL's browser. On neither one of these browsers, though, was I able to book a reservation online. I kept getting a "We're sorry, the system is down" error message, which has caused me to lose a few of those 500 Starpoints web bookings bonuses.

Hotel Search/Reserve is broken for me too...

I've also been getting blank pages quite frequently whenever attempting to access the brand site home pages. (using ie)
