random server
I have 4 IRCd servers how can I randomize the 4 servers
Re: random server
I will answer this question under the assumption that by "randomize" you actually mean something like a round-robin, where you could attempt a connection at one domain name (irc.example.org) and it would take you to a "random" server on your network.
This is called a DNS Round-Robin. To configure this, you will need to configure your DNS with your domain registry site.
You can achieve the desired effect by adding multiple "A Record"s for the same subdomain for each of your servers.
For example, assuming you are making 'irc' pointing to an IP address. Just keep adding your IP addresses as new A Records using the same subdomain 'irc', until you have an 'irc' subdomain A Record pointing towards each of your severs IP addresses.

What Valware says is basically it. It is also explained in this wiki article: Distributing user load and doing server maintenance
