This is how it would work.

1. The search engine adds itself to the tracker list in the magnet URI (&tr= query parameters), but with a unique subdomain and using HTTP (i.e. it adds http://asdfkja.skytorrent.in/announce to the tracker list)

2. The client announces itself to the tracker, sending the unique "Host" in the GET request (asdfkja.skytorrent.in in the example).
