You can't link a server twice and your network layout has to be a spanning tree (see RFC 1459):
Code: Select all
1.1 Servers
The server forms the backbone of IRC, providing a point to which
clients may connect to to talk to each other, and a point for other
servers to connect to, forming an IRC network. The only network
configuration allowed for IRC servers is that of a spanning tree [see
Fig. 1] where each server acts as a central node for the rest of the
net it sees.
[ Server 15 ] [ Server 13 ] [ Server 14]

[ Server 11 ] ------ [ Server 1 ] [ Server 12]

Of course, this will also happen if you try and /connect Services.
