I'd like to know if the hub works like a dispatcher for irc clients.

I have some servers linked together but the hub doesn't seem to dispatchs all clients who are connecting to my hub, like undernet, when you're connecting to the main hub, you're redirecting on differents servers.

Anyone know whats the problem?

I'd like to know if the hub works like a dispatcher for irc clients.

No, a hub is a server that is directly connected to multiple other servers. Sometimes there's 1 hub (a central point in the network), often multiple (like 1 for US, 1 for europe).
It does nothing special with clients. [ok, except that many hubs are configured to reject all normal client connects (eg: password protected) because they should only be used for routing]

like undernet, when you're connecting to the main hub, you're redirecting on differents servers.

That's not how undernet (or pretty much any network) does it, it uses DNS round robin. Which is simply multiple A records for a name, like:
irc.blah.net. A 1.2.3.4
irc.blah.net. A 1.2.3.5
irc.blah.net. A 1.2.3.6

So basically this is not done by the ircd, but by DNS (nameservers).
Now for any "how to configure my nameserver" questions, you are not at the right place, I suggest googling or looking at your nameserver docs if something is still unclear :P.

I guess I'll add this to the faq with a few pointers, since this has been asked ~5 times now already.

thank you
