      What about concerns or questions with doing this?
     
     
  Well, I don't think you can actually do that.

  When the client connects to the metaserver, it does not send any information 
about itself - rather, the metaserver just sees a connection comes in and 
blindly sends the data.

  You can actually try this yourself:
telnet crossfire.real-time.com 13326
(see bunch of data come back)
