No -- it is "constrained" because it has reached the *UTC date* (not 
time as initially reported) when it is programmed to switch from 
"spread like crazy" mode to "DoS one of the IPs that was part of 
www.whitehouse.gov" mode.  In about ten days it will flick back to 
the "spread like crazy" mode.

I've got to wonder about this - I've been tracing whitehouse.gov
(both old and new addresses) at several locations, and I'm not
seeing much traffic to it.
