Hello everyone,

I don't understand why usually after a netsplit the autoconnect doesn't work.

Because for every hub server I have minimum 6 leafs, can happens one of these servers go down.
So, to avoid the continuos servernotices caused by the autoconnect like that:
[19:23:38] -hub2.mynet.net- *** Connecting to nobody.mynet.net[1.3.5.7].
[19:24:11] -hub2.mynet.net- *** Notice -- No response from nobody.mynet.net[1.3.5.7], closing link
...
.....
I have inserted the autoconnect only into the leafs servers;
example:

[Config-file "hub.mynet.net"]
link myleaf.mynet.net
{
username *;
hostname 1.2.3.4;
bind-ip *;
port 7000;
leaf *;
password-connect "link";
password-receive "link";
class servers;
options { ssl; };
};


[Config-file "myleaf.mynet.net"]
link hub.mynet.net
{
username *;
hostname 3.2.1.0;
bind-ip *;
port 7000;
hub *;
password-connect "link";
password-receive "link";
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
ssl;
};
};

As you can see the 'autoconnect;' option is only in the leaf's config;
I don't understand why, in this situation, the leaf server usually don't try to reconnect after a split.

Can anyone explain me how to fix?

Thanks in advance

Means either you have either the IP or port wrong in the link block for "nobody.mynet.net"
