  34 <PRE>Greetings all,
  35         I had an idea long time ago, i think that the list is appropriate
  36 to express it and talk about.
  37 &lt;idea&gt;
  38 Imagine that we have a network with
  39 20 servers and the services. Imagine that it's late night and no oper is
  40 available, servers are spliting, and many times due to misconfigured
  41 ircd.conf files, autoconnects are not present. So the network will stay
  42 splited, until one oper will come and realise that half of the network is
  43 not connected. So .. What about puting some &quot;intelligence&quot; into the
  44 services. For example, (we have the fact that services can somehow know
  45 the best connect between 2 servers and an alternative, this could be done
  46 easy even providing this information from a db once to the services,
  47 server) an /operserv checklinks 05:00-08:00 command, or however you want
  48 to call it, will perform a &quot;clever&quot; connect at one server that will split.
  49 By the mean clever connect, it could be a connect not immediate, so if the
  50 server splits now, services will not try to remotelly connect the servers
  51 now, they could wait for about 3-5 minutes, if autoconnets are present the
  52 connection will be performed between that time, so no rush to initiate
  53 another connect. If now auto connect is not present , and 5 minutes have
  54 passed OperServ could initiate a connect. If the connection is achieved,
  55 good, nothing to worry from then on, if not, wait 10 minutes now, maybe
  56 there is a network problem and try again, if again a failure, incremet a
  57 bit the wait time, and try later.
  58 &lt;/idea&gt;

  60 Sorry for the long post, comments, ideas are welcome.
