I think a dedicated and access-controlled RA mp server, if people are prepared to make the resources available, is probably the best solution and it would mean that the RA fliers get a reduced traffic load on their system, which can't be a bad thing:) Testers could then continue using the default mp system where a high traffic load is desirable (if you're testing something there's no point in giving it an easy time) A quick and dirty way of controlling access to a RA server could be to run it on an unannounced port for each session. To join a session you'd have to e-mail whoever is doing ATC to obtain the port number. Of course, if someone was really desperate to annoy serious fliers they could port scan the server, but it would stop casual mp fliers and testers from unintentionally interfering with serious fliers.
