For me metaserver.us.netrek.org still points to snorch, but I guess that
needs some time.
One other question: Now that we have three metaservers do we still want
to make a distinction between a euro metaserver with euro servers only
and US metaservers with US/other servers? The EU metaserver already lists
three US servers, one of them is continuum which I could remove, but the
other two are by means of the soliciting code.
My proposol: the three metaservers should all list as much servers as
possible.
Pro: no difference for users, just use the one that's nearest and up
Con: servers get queried by three metaservers. This is not a real problem,
since server gods can and should use the soliciting code.
Comments?
