I was trying to say that if you want to generate a packet out of the blue
and send it somewhere, a good way of having the info there ahead of time
would be to run a config on the remote machine, which would send a ping to
the Siteplayer server.  The server would examine the contents of the ping,
and if it contained a command that the server recognized, it would cache
that IP and MAC, then it would use them next time that it wanted to send a
packet out of the blue.

I agree that this is not the best way to handle it, but I think it would
work.
