Well, no it's more because of the way they check for matches. I look for it in any part of the host name or user agent. They match the exact item.
I've found that doing it the way I do gives better protection overall. Mainly because if you decide you don't want any servers registering you just have to enter 'server'. That kills a good number of bots right off the bat. Another example would be rackcentre. Anything with that in the host name is a server. Listing each server from rackcentre would be a list 10 miles long. So with the way I do it, just entering it once kills them all.
