That's by design.  You can't hide the server list but then give users  
a way to circumvent that by using URL parameters.  That's a security  
loophole: it makes the value of server_list irrelevant.

You will probably need to do some kind of workaround by dynamically  
setting the 'preferred' parameter in backends.php based on URL  
parameters.
