Out of curiosity, I looked in the "Recent Servers" list in a couple of Macs that I have, and the only thing I could find were local file servers. A server is a process that accepts requests for services. Typically, they don't iniciate connections. As near as I can tell from the Mac documentation, the "Recent Servers" list is a list of servers that you've connected to, and nothing more. I suggest clicking on the item in your "Recent Servers" list and finding out what you connect to. If you have any further questions you should post them in a Mac forum, since the question of which servers you've been connected to really has nothing to do with the Free BSD operating system. Best of luck.
