Most hosters, like us for instance, run high end dual cpu rack mounted machines that are connected to a an internet trunk line - aka 10gpbs etc. to handle server traffic. With any DCS game you have to do all of this with basically a home machine that must have a video card and then you'll be on crappy tiered down home network connections. Sorry, but that isn't MP orientated at all.
There is server software called 'servman' available at the DCS forums/website, that lets you set a computer to run a scripted server..

if you want details about it, you can check it out,,, and no, you do not need to run the game in full mode to run the server... but you do need a full licensed copy of the sim to run servman,, it installs into the sims folder..

and while it was cleared up, a few posts back, weeks ago, that multiplayer is alive and well, with missions, campaigns and more int he DCS series.. I also wanted to let this be known..
ands while here, I am very excited about the coming release of the DCS P-51 ! Let us find out how it really flew... with the most realistic P-51 sim ever modelled, we will most likely find out how it really flies/flew... (I will stop here...).... and what might have been had the corrections been made in the IL-2 series after at least 6 years of begging for fixes..
