Hi, the configuration of 2.1.10 has the parameter num_answers_to_alive in proxy.conf. Looking at the source code, I found that instead, in realms.c, the config option num_pings_to_alive is used. num_answers is read from the config, but never referenced.
If that's the case, then the config option in proxy.conf should be
changed to be num_pings_to_alive, otherwise people will likely fail to
tweak the value.
Speaking of tweaking the value, I also found
if (home->num_pings_to_alive < 3) home->num_pings_to_alive = 3;
if (home->num_pings_to_alive > 10) home->num_pings_to_alive = 10;
The documentation says that 3..10 are *useful* ranges, but doesn't
mention that everything else is forbidden. In particular, I would like
to use 1, not 3. The idea is: the server was dead before, but now it
managed to send a reply back - so it must have been fixed. I would like
to mark it alive immediately. Is that unreasonable?
Greetings,
Stefan Winter
