Hello everyone I have something problem please everyone help me:

Now i'm running irc server with unreal3.2.3. I have two server one is one.test.com and two.test.com.

my plan:
- I want to use irc.test.com. When user type /server irc.test.com to join my server I two of my server above are Random (that mean sometime connect to one.test.com and sometime connect to two.test.com) just user type /server irc.test.com.

how can i do as i said ? Please have fun to help me.

thanks in advance.

Use a DNS round-robin...

Simply add 2 A records in your DNS for irc.test.com, and have them be the IP's of the 2 server, like so:

If the first servers IP is 1.2.3.4, and the second servers IP is 1.2.3.5, add entries like this to your DNS
A irc.test.com 1.2.3.4
A irc.test.com 1.2.3.5

The DNS will send users to the different servers itself.

Perhaps there should be a FAQ entry on this...

You just have to set it up in your DNS servers... (Or let your DNS admin do it... )
