Summary0004428: Optional "replace existing server" link option
DescriptionIt'd be great if Unreal could:
(1) authenticate the incoming server;
(2) compare the UID of it to already linked servers;
(3) if it's already linked and "eject" is set in the link options for that server, eject the currently connected one.

The use case for this is high-latency anonymizing networks such as I2P or Tor.
We have a problem in that we need a relatively high ping timeout between servers because latency jitter can be recovered from often, but this means it takes a long time for the server to ping out when we're actually disconnected.

A high connfreq on one end will result in repeated "server already exists" messages which isn't helpful.

Connections can sometimes take a few attempts to timeout over the network anyway, so it would be good if we knew that when we can make a connection, we'd be accepted right away.

This would be possible and is not too difficult. Post-4.0.0, though.

Does anyone still need this? If not, I will close it 1 month from now.
