It didn't work. It still seems to find about 40 extra servers from 
somewhere. I noticed a few strange things:
1) the CLI might report 37 servers in the server list, but the GUI (the 
X windows one that comes with the download) reports 45.
2) if I clear the server list (with "rem all") in the CLI, then start 
the GUI, the GUI says that there are 45 other servers around... and 
proceeds to connect to them (when the CLI did not seem eager to connect 
to any phantom servers)
3) server.met files don't seem to work... If I type "servers 
server.met" in the cli it tells me that 5 servers have been added.. but 
they are nowhere to be seen... this is most obvious when there are no 
servers in the list before I do that.

Also, while I am emailing, is there any way to flat out refuse 
connexions to IP ranges? I have seen a few options that seem to allow 
you to refuse connexions to individual IP numbers, but I would like to 
be able to have much wider exclusion ranges.
