I'd make a few minor changes (see below), but I'll ack it.

I've checked it compiles and boots but not the server selection.

The indent on the return is 1 tab too many.
See next comment.

I'd actually remove both occurrences of "else" bringing this and the 
previous return back a tabstop.  The else is unnecessary because the if 
statement is return .  (Seperate the new if from the previous with a 
blank line in both cases).
