I wanted to follow up on this after putting a little more thought into it.  
Honestly, I'm quite impressed by the intelligence the botnet is exhibiting.  
Based on the testing I've done, it's clear that the entire botnet is 
collectively sharing its position in the dictionary on a per-target basis.  
Fairly slick, IMO.
