Not really. To distinguish robots from servers, Polymon 2.2.x and
earlier relied on the assumption that robots run on "odd" IP addresses
(a.b.c.odd) and servers on "even" IP addresses (a.b.c.even). This
assumption was removed in 2.5.0 along with the message format change,
IIRC.

Thus, it is a "known misfeature" for version <= 2.2.x, improved in
2.5.0.
