Does this need to also handle other broadcast subnets? e.g., for the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, 192.168.255.255?

This doesn't affect Age of Empires / BattleServer (which always uses INADDR_BROADCAST/255.255.255.255), but could potentially be an issue on other applications. It is a lot more work, though…
