Summary:  Serverlist spammed with same IP but different Port

Original Submission:  My Serverlist (for all kinds of networks) is recently 
spammed with much Server entries that have the same IP, but different Port. I 
dont know exactly why this, if its mldonkey fault, or servers propagating 
themselves with those ports. Nevertheless, the keying for the servers should be 
set to IP only, and not IP:Port. Legitimate servers will usually run on one 
port only, so a new IP:Port combination should overwrite the old one. (pango 
noticed on #mldonkey that this could be a dos point, to invalidade all servers, 
but we agreed that the possibility to find a legitimate server in such a dos 
condition is much higher than its in a dos condition where the serverlist is 
spammed. Like if 1 is valid under 5000 or under 5000000 ;)
