I was thinking about this the other day.  The most 
efficient way to make
this work would be to spread using some vulnerability (like 
the Microsoft
DCOM vulnerability released last week), and then at a 
predetermined time,
start DoS'ing routers in the IP space of major providers, 
and then work your
way towards the "edges."  

Pray tell, the virus will also get BGP feeds to determine 
where the edges
are?
