Jörg,
Keep in mind it's the choice of user to use or not a restricted server. Also I
didn't hear that someone want setup a restricted server anywhere. This is just
a feature, which is also present in FGCom standalone since a lot of years. And
as you can see, even if the feature is existing in FGCom standalone nobody has
setup a restricted server. So don't worry about that.
About server management: as stated with Dirk, our main problem is the bandwith.
Dirk and me agree that our server won't be able to manage the FGCom flow if
FGCom become more and more used (which is something we want however).
To solve this I see 3 solutions for now:
- Having a server with high bandwith => require to buy a dedicated server in a
datacenter, who is ready do pay ?
- Look at IAX trunk / Confbridge => require to learn a lot about Asterisk
- Share frequencies between both servers (and even 3 or 4 if new FGCom servers
are setup)
The easier solution is the last one, it can be really easy to implement this in
FGCom standalone/integrated and totally transparent for our users.
As example, we can decide that
fgcom01.flightgear.org handles frequencies 118.0 to 124.9
fgcom02.flightgear.org handles frequencies 125.0 to 131.9
fgcom03.flightgear.org handles frequencies 132.0 to 137.0
A simple test in FGCom standalone/integrated could be:
if (freq > 118.0 && freq < 125)
server = fgcom01.flightgear.org
if (freq > 124.9 && freq < 132)
server = fgcom02.flightgear.org
if (freq > 131.9)
server = fgcom03.flightgear.org
We can also check if a server is up or down and skip it if needed, and
redistribute the frequency flow on remaining servers. All of this is doable and
totally transparent for the user.
@Dirk: I would have your agreement to do that, is it ok for you ?

Unfortunately this is not doable... at least, not doable without a registration
system.
