Brief Minecraft Authentication Server Outage?

Looks like we just got out of a brief Minecraft authentication server outage. At least, that is the nearest I could figure out the problem to be. Everything was working just fine on our back-end, and my client was properly configured, but I could not connect to anything via the Minecraft client. It appears to have cleared up now, but I don't know how long the issue persisted; so if you had trouble getting in today, this was probably why.
