Have you ever run a DCC server? 
Please also re-read my initial message.

The normal DCC server statistics gathering keeps fair track of how
many DCC clients there are and which they are.  In recent days, there
have been about 650 anonymous clients of the public servers making
perhaps 500,000 real requests (as opposed to NOPs) per day.  Moreover,
a server operator can turn on tracing for various things and to see
what each client is doing.

(The majority of those real requests come from a small number of DCC
clients, but that's another issue that I hope is being addressed, 
albeit slowly.)

You could run DCC servers for your paying customers like the many other
outfits that are providing DCC filtering for their paying customers.
