mIRC Problem

[cculha]

Hi. I don't know this setting in mIRC in Unreal or in computers. but i must ask it. i have a big network. i setted all the subdomains for ips. if you write host irc.myserver.net . you can show 5 different link's ips.

but the problem is. when i am under ddos. a links connection has gone.


a user is writing /s irc.myserver.net and the user's computer resolves the ddos link's ip.

so mirc said. connection time out. and retry the SAME ip. and time out. and retry and time out out out out out. so the user can't connect. i want when connection time out. mirc trys the another ip. and another and another. how can i do it? how can i fix it? i have stable links but few users can't connect. thank you. byby

In newest mIRC 6.21 (just released) it says in the changelog:

Code: Select all

51.Changed DNS routine so that it now randomizes the retrieved pool
   of IP addresses to spread the load across connections.

This might be useful to you ;p... Or at least, in the future.


Or, a better workaround would be for you to actively maintain the round robin list, use a low TTL (like of 300 or 600) and remove/readd servers when they are unreachable.
