I don't think that question is really clear. You can set a firewall not to to not respond to icmp requests like a ping. As far as I know, this might make you a little less vulnerable to DoS ping attack. I don't think it matters to shoutcast, the YP and the users. It could be a problem if you were trying to diagnose a connection.
