Note that this is an incompatible change on the wire. Previously the rid and 
sid that a consumer sends to a provider were returned unchanged in any 
responses from the provider. (Which was, in retrospect, a mistake... It 
allowed the syncprov to know the sid of the consumer, but the consumer didn't 
know the sid of the provider.)

Now the current server's serverID is always sent. This allows both sides of 
the connection to know each other's serverID, which is essential for routing 
decisions.
