Yeah, the code is already public, here: https://github.com/novice-rb/PRMasterServer (It needs a bit of cleanup though.) Anyone could host it, but all players who want to connect to each other need to use the same NatNeg server. I should clarify, by the way, that you can use the NatNeg server hosted by Caledorn for any pitboss game, not just pitboss games hosted by Caledorn.
I have to run.
Of course everyone is free to use my server for this, even for games I am not hosting
 It hardly uses any traffic at all, and it's probably easiest if we just have one IP to relate to for everyone in their hosts file, so that we don't have to change that on a regular basis. I will post here if my IP changes for any reason.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
I caun't find any hosts file in that directory. Just the 4 others.
