  36 &gt;<i> I don't think everyone is understanding the situation presented here. Say you have Services running on server A. Services links to server B, not an ircd on the same box (A). Server B crashes. Now Services are no where because the .conf file only has one server (B) to link to. This is correctable if a person with access to server A is around to edit the .conf file, but the situation is that, that person is not around. So the asked for solution is to have multiple S:lines in the .conf file that Services would attempt to link to in the event the primary is down. Setting up a crontab to restart the ircd on server B is moot because server B is dead. This is what I gathered from Angel's emails. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  38 Easy:
  39
  40 DNS: services-uplink-entry-point.your.domain
  41
  42 in DNS
  43
  44 services-uplink-entry-point     IN      A       196.14.22.5
  45                                 IN      A       196.14.22.14
  46
  47 etc.
  48
  49 That way the servers who's IP's are listed above get services connecting
  50 to them on a round-robin basis.
