I have irc network, for example(fragment of net):
(1) main.server.my.net - root hub
(2) some.hub1.my.net - some hub in net. linked to main.server.my.net
(3) leaf1.hub1.my.net - leaf, linked with (2)
(4) some.server.net - leaf, linked with (2)

(5),(6),(7)... leafXXX.hub1.my.net - leaf servers, but they must have disallow to link with (2)
(XXX - number, but XXX not equal 1)

Code: Select all

(1) ---- (2) ---/ /---(5)
        /  \
       /    \
     (3)   (4)
Problem: i haven't control of config file for (2). For example, it have config:

Code: Select all

link main.server.my.net {
hub *
.......
};
link leaf1.hub1.my.net {
leaf *
.......
};
link some.server.net {
leaf *
.......
};
link leaf2.hub1.my.net {
leaf *
.......
};
link leaf3.hub1.my.net {
leaf *
.......
};
How i can restrict connect (2) to (1), if server (5),(6) or (7) linked with (2) at this moment?

How i must configure link block on (1) for server (2)?

Code: Select all

link some.hub1.my.net {
hub XXXXX;
.......
}; 
What is XXXXX there?

P.S. Sorry for my english :(

I think your confusing people. In the docs it is a basic idea of setting up a network.

I think if you can set up the link block to allow the server ya need to connect to each other it should be fine to use /connect when ya need them to connect. Am not sure but i think all the routing is down to the oper(s) of the network. If your oper(s) cant handle that, maybe re-think ya oper(s). Other than that the only thing i can think that will of any help to you is possible help with a routing plan, there a routing-demon from blitzed http://cvs.blitzed.org/routing-daemon/ and a routing-client http://cvs.blitzed.org/routing-client/ hope it helps and merry x-mass :)
