and I use DNS tricks to make it connect to my server instead of the eqlive one I select.
Just edit your eqhost.txt file and put your server's name and port number in place of the one that's there. That's the official EQEmu supported way of us switching from Sony's servers to Emu servers.

When you edit it though, I suggest using either WordPad or the MS-DOS "Edit" command. It seems Notepad saves CR/LF's in a funny way and the EQ client might reject the file.

Symptoms that the EQ client rejected your changed eqhost.txt file: It'll say something about an invalid eqhost.txt file when you try to log on, and then when you look at the eqhost.txt file again, it's been changed to include an "xp-smitchell" machine. (Most likely an internal SOE dev's machine from back when the login was being tested.)
