Edit Summary: update firewall information for servers.

    * Enough and fast enough bandwidth (it's mostly upload speed that you are concerned about) 
      * One should estimate 10kbps down (in) and 20kbps up (out) per user (kbps = kilo bits per second)
      * More bandwidth is of course better - even if not constantly being used, just so that the bursts of data get delivered faster
    * Have an ISP allows for server hosting

+   * Network security to allow remote connections (aka, tweaked firewall rules) and communication to the metaserver(s).  The server runs on port 13327 - if you have a firewall, it will need to allow that port for incoming connections, and if you are running NAT, you will need to make sure that the connection to port 13327 gets routed to the correct server.  For metaserver2 updates, it is an outgoing connection to standard HTTP port (80), so very few firewalls should block it.
      * NOTE: Make sure the hostname is a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), otherwise there will be connections issues within the Crossfire client
