Hey,

I could use some help.
I have irc.vbulletin-fans.com as a hub with round robin dns setup, and some leaf servers connected. They're all on 6667, but we get more and more requests for 6666 and 6668 and 7000 and some other ports.

How do I update my ircd.conf file to reflect this?

I dont'want to run 1 ircd for each port.

M:irc.vBulletin-Fans.com:66.116.100.64:or irc.gamersadvance.net or irc.bpgaming.com:6667

That is the M line I use

I would help you...if I knew what all you just said. hehe, I am a computer wiz, but not at that standard quite yet. ReeRee:eek: :confused:

I told u I would link w/ u but you said no :(

does it support port ranges? ie, 6666-6669

No, just tried that on mine, it doesn't. I use UltimateIRCd also.

I just wish I knew what everyone was talking about. :(

does it support port ranges? ie, 6666-6669 Need to lookup the SERVERPORT define property in your ircd.conf syntax.
And change the given 6667 to 6666:6669. Keep the M:line the same.
It will look like this when you're done.
define(SERVERPORT,6666:6669)

I dont think you use define in shell scripts. I might be wrong though...

dont think the ircd.conf is a shell script, unless its some bizzare ircd.

another thing that might be worth trying, is to just add a extra M line

An extra M line would be bad. You shouldn't need an extra M line.
According to the Ultimate CONF file, the syntax is as follows...

# P : [SUGGESTED]
# port. The port line allows the server to listen on various ports for
# connections. Fields in order: address mask to allow connections from,
# address to bind to, unused, port to listen on
#
P:128.32.*:::6665
P::209.42.128.252::31337

If you're not getting an error on startup and it STILL doesn't work, and you've double checked everything, it might be a bug with the IRCD or something wrong with the box...from what I've heard, Ultimate has had some problems with the socketengine before...

Yes, an extra M line wont work.

Cool, what Pyro posted works :)

cough~nerds~cough! hehe! ReeRee:p

I understand. However I thought a conf change would affect connections to leaf ports. Like in a heirarchy I can unlock it from the inside and you can always specify ports in the primary SERVERPORT define no matter what the M:line states.
