Let me tell you, it's really fun when you see 500 people thinking that they are undetectable suddenly realize that they aren't ;) Couldn't agree with your more, there. Blotter has come to my attention too. I suppose it's yet another thing I'll be dealing with tonight. Looks like I'll be sending you...

looking through the source code, when a bottler client is banned from the network, it removes the network from its internal list, thus preventing it from reconnecting after you have removed the ban.

Unreal 3.2.1, numeric 378

What codemastr said is true.. I've had to rid my network of a few of them.. about 100. I added "No bottler clients please" to all my motds, and did a ctcp version of the entire network, killing anything that replied with "Bottler". They do however reconnect, but drop the connecti...

Here's an example for you, Doikor: Just recently my network acquired several hundred bots, I won't go into detail; this is merely an example. At the very peek of their connections, each of my servers were consuming approximately 60 kbit/s. All in all, when they finally ceased with the mass connectio...

Basically all you need to do is create multiple entries for irc.your.net in your DNS zone file, each one pointing to a different server IP.
