If you can observe response packets from the servers (responses to UDP
or ICMP requests, or simple TCP requests such as telnetting to an open
port), then you can fingerprint the IP stack by hand. Examine TTL, IP ID
and Window size. Most systems don't randomize the IP ID, so you can
easily distinguish between different servers by watching the IP ID.

Remember, tcpdump is your friend :)
