On the technical side, the best we could do would be to lock people in spec if their class did not match the filter and maybe kick them (not very user friendly). The filter itself would be problematic since Pikeman and Legionnaire can play either as infantry or as ranged.
On the "should we" side, I would prefer to come up with some way to encourage the use of melee rather than use arbitrary restrictions. As far as how to do that, I'm not sure.
As I see it, part of the "problem" might be that infantry arguably has more negatives than ranged does because you have to go within striking distance of the Nords instead of sniping them from a distance which gives more chances to get hit by shotgun arrows or Nordic melee. Simply dropping the Nord damage might lessen that drawback but then the game as a whole would be easier so to some extent, this is also related to "how do we make Ragnarok harder" question.
Anyway, long story short: I'm not convinced that putting class restrictions on servers is a suitable option.
