Good news! You don't need to tell bzflag what the list server address is. It is automatically set to the right location.

Not entirely... you still need to specify -public (for the server to register itself on the list) and you can't be behind a router for this to work, as far as I know (cause BZFS would set your internal IP).

Of course you can serve from behind a router... Just forward the correct port(s)...

Yes, and you have to set your WAN IP to -publicaddr.
