One thing I've noticed is that bot-controlled boss zombies are counted towards the amount of players, while bot-controlled players aren't. So if there's 3 players in the game, and there's currently a smoker and a boomer running around, I see 5 players for that server when doing a "status" on the parent netconport. Makes it less useful than it could be for server monitoring.
