Client Dispersal

Is there a way to set it so that when users connect to irc.server.add they are transfered to server1.irc.server.add or server2.irc.server.add? I believe the term is Round Robin...

Yeah, it's even in our FAQ:

W00t tyvm. I found out my DNS provider (http://www.zonedit.com) does support round robin. That's kick ass ^.^

Only 1 problem now... if people try to go to my irc webpage they have a chance to be directed to the server that doesn't have that :( What a bummer :(

http://www.network.com and irc.network.com are two different DNS names.

I have irc.network.com roundrobin across two servers, i have http://www.network.com directed to the website.

So you CAN round robin the IRC connections and keep your webpage the same. The downside is that if you have irc.network.com as the webaddress, you'll need to modify it.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
