Subject: DDoS on the 16th - Fail if no DNS resolution?

All,

Has anyone tested this worm yet to see what it'll do if you set up an 
internal DNS entry for windowsupdate.com to point to a black hole address 
(127.0.0.1 for example) and then set the system clock to be August 16th 
(this Saturday)?

Based on the way it's obviously coded, I wouldn't think the authors would 
have built much error handling into it, but I haven't got source to read....

Thanks very much for any input.

Jason
