FYI bahamut doesn't do this. It will only do it whenever a new client that
matches the akill connects to the server.
i.e. if you set an akill for *.com noone will be disconnected untill a new
client from *.com gets connected (at that moment, all matching clients will
be killed). In the mean time, anyone from other domains can connect to the
server without having any user killed.
