I dont think so... I am curently hosting in the second most important hosting of Argentina (The first has more ping for international players). And When i asked to do an international tournament they didnt say anithing, but when i asked to enable master server they said "NO! With the amount of servers we are currently hosting we cannot enable MS communication because our connection can't handle it." I don't think they are lying, because their service is great and they always give the better service they can, thats why they are so great. You know, here in South America, the internet connections are not as fast as yours. Think about millions of queries to hundreeds of servers, thats a lot of traffic.
And, yes ratman, they have MS disabled and they are the most important hosting provider in the country i realy don't know how... But their service is excelent. ¿Is there not any kind of master server caché? This wold be a great idea, master server caché takes information about the servers over lan and then, the clients queries the cache and not directly to the server.
