Cylindrical harmonic BC and constraintScaling

Hi,

I'm trying to simulate a system using both cylindrical harmonic BC to
confine the solvent and some harmonic restraints on my protein's backbone
which I try to loosen up along the simulation using constraintScaling till
the backbone constraints come to zero.

My question is, does the constraintScaling parameter affect also the
cylindricalBCk# ? (looks like, for when my constraintScaling = 0.0 the
BOUNDARY energy drops to zero ... and I end up with a couple of waters
'vaporizing'). If so, is there a way around it (besides modifying the
consKFile as the simulation progresses)?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, tnx

Elsa
