Redirect traffic to random leaf

Post by frozen »

Is there a setting so the ircd will redirect all clients to a random leaf (after maxclients has been reached of corse).

Read the docs to find out about redirection on full clasees. I know its in there, but have never personally needed it.

Have it redirect to a DNS round robin.

My DNS servers don't suppoer RR, why I am looking at the IRCd to do it, and I have read the docs on the config, I see no such option. :(

Frozen: Jason told you to check the class:: block, and i'd check the allow:: block for the answers you seek. I suggest you do that before posting next. I'll even elimitate all the work for you and give you a direct link. Allow :: Block.

As I said, I have read the docs.

Code: Select all

    redirect-server <server-to-forward-to>;
    redirect-port <port-to-forward-to>;
Will redirect to a server, not a random server.

Which is why I reccommended a RR to go with it.

If you cant set up a RR, and none of your friends can, the best you can do is to have each server redirect to another, in a circle. That way users might end up automatically trying a couple servers, but shouldnt get locked out.
