Robert,
That is the same structure we use.    Two suggestions:

If you just want it to use the 2.3 style preferences for the server, that 
should be fine; I've not tried it, but at worst a hidden form entry with 
the server value would be enough to avoid errors, and it would use what is 
stored in the preferences anyways.

We're going to change the server selection to being radio buttons with no 
default selected, and a bit of javascript to make things work out.
This is a local mod, as we only have two servers.
