There is a check in gnudirector.cpp that verifies
whether the originating host of a QueryHit is in a
private subnet (e.g., 10.1.0.10). While this works well
for normal usage, it breaks attempts to use mutella
only locally (my case while working on the software).
I guess the appropriate thing to do (albeit far more
complicated) would be to check our routing tables and
such. An intermediate approach would be to just check
our local IP address and assume similar subnets are ok.
I'm circumventing it right now by brutally patching out
the IsOkForDirectConnect return value.
