Summary:  mldonkey accept obviously bad server adresses

Original Submission:  such as i encountered today when my server list inflated 
to to 400 server by a single ip that appeared 340 times but with a different 
port for each instance

also private adresses appear often like 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 
172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 that should never be accepted

also others that shoudl not appear are mentioned in 
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt

and of cource the random adresses in the 1.0.0.0 block ( that get blocked by 
many routers )

is there any chance to only accept server sources from actualy servers and not 
users it might help

I changed status to feature request: disallow certain IPs when 
allow_local_network is false

allow_local_network ring a bell? that should allow private address networks to 
work so this option exists

Maybe it shouldn't be forbidden because of mldonkeys usage in private nets like 
dorm networks or something like that. But maybe there should be an option for 
that.
