Replace TAL.DE.EU.GameSurge.net with LAN-Team.DE.EU.GameSurge.net #489

In particular the hardcoded IP (195.8.250.180) is problematic; I already updated the DNS so the old one points to its replacement. You may also want to remove other servers that no longer exist.

This is the current IRC servers. Could you directly address the changes here?

Why do you need to hardcode any IPs or server names? Any reason against just using the DNS round-robin (irc.gamesurge.net)?

Ideally you'd use irc.gamesurge.net (with a fresh DNS lookup at least when a connection to the previous server fails), and any port from 6660,6666,6667,6668,6669 (they are open on all servers) with a preference on the standard 6667.

I don't think irc.gamesurge.net is sufficient. It only have 5 IPv4 addresses no matter the dns client is from?

Name:    irc.gamesurge.net
Addresses:  162.248.94.123
          128.140.107.226
          192.223.27.109
          195.68.206.250
          188.240.145.60

Yeah you are right. Besides Krypt.CA.US.GameSurge.net all other IP addresses are in irc.gamesurge.net

Name:    Krypt.CA.US.GameSurge.net
Address:  209.11.244.82

I'll try removing all but irc.gamesurge.net in https://github.com/CnCNet/xna-cncnet-client/pull/487

By the way the client does not depends on DNS round-robin. It sends ICMP ping to all servers and start trying connecting from the fastest to the slowest/not responded (due to, national firewalls or something) servers.
