I read the FAQ, browsed the forums for some hours, then registered to ask.
Code: Select all
[14:57] -IRC1.RPG-Server.de- *** Notice -- Hostname IRC2.RPG-Server.de is unknown for server IRC2.RPG-Server.de (!?).After the link is reestablished some seconds later, I get that message.
About 30 of them PER SECOND, that is, and that's only a small guess, cause my mirc is flooded by it and disconnects after about 10 seconds.
Server 1 System:
old pentium 133 MHz, 64MB RAM
win2k sp4 fully patched
unrealircd 3.2.2 unmodified
lakeserv 6 final
Except for that errormessageflood (happens on both linked servers) the system runs perfect!
Yet the flood takes a lot of system load, server2 occasionally even gets its DNS service overloaded and frozen.
my link block:
Code: Select all
link IRC2.RPG-Server.de
{
username *;
hostname IRC2.RPG-Server.de;
bind-ip *;
port 6668;
hub *;
password-connect "##########";
password-receive "##########";
class servers;
compression-level 9;
options {
autoconnect;
zip;
nodnscache;
nohostcheck;
};
};
I wrote both configs myself, noone modified them.
Additionally I'll have to mention that I am in control of the RPG-Server.de nameserver, who routes irc. to irc1. and irc1. to a dyndns host, irc2. also routes to a dyndns host. both hosts are kept actual and contain the internet IP of both servers, which is done the second a server comes back online and checked every minute. So there should be no real problem with this. Just thought it may be important to clarify why i declared the nodnscache and nohostcheck.
The messageflood appears on both linked servers.
It disappears after manual rehashing.
It reappears any time later.
I don't understand the message itself, as the name really IS resolveable from both server machines.
...well, any ideas?
From a simple way to disable the errormessage to a real solution everything would help.
