Hello, To clarify on the additional metaservers added in r19878 and r19879, they are for redundancy purposes. As things stand now, clients and servers are not configured to query one metaserver vs. another based on their geographic location or other settings. If you want a quick lookup for all the metaservers, visit: http://crossfire.real-time.com/ms/ As for why the additional metaservers? This takes some of the stress off of me for server reboots and other maintenance tasks as game clients will still have other metaservers to query. And hopefully having an additional metaserver on a different continent helps with availability and reliability as well. The secondary US based metaserver (http://metaserver.us.cross-fire.org/meta_html.php) is still hosted here at Real Time, but resides on a different physical virtual machine node then the "primary" metaserver (http://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_html.php) As for the new domain name, cross-fire.org - it was a domain that was available and is related to the project name, so that is why I used it. Plus I hope it helps to avoid|reduces the confusion of when much of when the game resources (wiki, forum, etc.) were first deployed and the project still did not have a designated domain name and I used the metalforge.net domain name and a "temporary" measure. BTW, I have checked. crossfire.net is for sale for $30000.00 USD. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFVPtGOhHyvgBp+vH4RAmKFAKCjqvB9KRidwH/Lwl0a8VN1OMF63gCgniLM /AwFXSqaJ+zyAPH8fdjL5mA= =cdnP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
