Sure. That's what it is: "architectural changes".

I heard the Naval War College was doing that, too. :-)

Right -- something's definitely going on on that part of the world.
See http://fcw.com/article97178-12-22-06-Web which talks about how DoD
is banning HTML email (what a wonderful thought in any event!) and
Outlook Web Access.  Why?  The threat level has been raised from
Information Condition 5 to Information Condition 4 -- but they won't
say why....

why terrorists of course... :) in all seriousness, perhaps they are doing
some architectural changes to better secure their perimeter in light of
(as the hawaii.edu gentleman pointed out) the internet becoming more and
more critical to the common person?
