The problem is, that I actually want to have two connections with the same nickname. Normally, this is avoided by the metaserver by appending a number. In my case however, I want to have two connections belonging to the same user, so the metaserver needs to see something he can recognize the user on.
I think only using the nickname would work most of the time. However, It would be easy to assign an arbitrary IP address to any user which an attacker could use to hamper hosting games.
