Check node type when reading xml. If it's XComment then you are reading comment. E.g. in your case previous node of server element will be comment:

foreach(var s in doc.Descendants("server"))
{
    var comment = s.PreviousNode as XComment;
    if (comment != null)
        Console.WriteLine(comment.Value); // outputs "Dummy servers"
}
