 server_black_list = [
  "127.255.255.255";
  "172.16.255.255";
  "172.17.255.255";
  "172.18.255.255";
  "172.19.255.255";
  "172.20.255.255";
  "172.21.255.255";
  "172.22.255.255";
  "172.23.255.255";
  "172.24.255.255";
  "172.25.255.255";
  "172.26.255.255";
  "172.27.255.255";
  "172.28.255.255";
  "172.29.255.255";
  "172.30.255.255";
  "172.31.255.255";
  "172.32.255.255";
  "192.168.255.255";
  "10.255.255.255"]

Note: mldonkey does not apply the filters at once, but it takes some
time for servers to be removed, probably at the next "remove old
servers" run.

Being able to use a CIDR notation would be nice, so all of the above
would shrink to:

 server_black_list = [
   "224.0.0.0/4";
   "127.0.0.0/8";
   "10.0.0.0/8";
   "172.16.0.0/12";
   "192.168.0.0/16"]

(with the first one being the multicast net)
