Is there a way you can set it up so that users would be automatically redirected to a running server if the one they attempt to connect to is down?

That's the idea of the load balancing and failover that they've stuck on the servers.

You connect to www.boards.ie and the server makes some nifty calcumalations and sends you to either pie.boards.ie or wang.boards.ie depending on a few variables. If either pie or wang go down (oh teh pun!), www.boards.ie should keep pointing your requests at the functioning server, so you shouldn't notice a difference.

That's how I understand it anyway.

I assume the configuration issues were to do with what happens when you connect to www.boards.ie, which is why people were having success connecting directly to the web servers (pie and wang/muppet), but not when using www.boards.ie.

That's just my theory anyway.

www.boards.ie was really slow for me a while ago, read the announcement and switched to pie a week or two ago which has now gone to the dogs. Switched to muppet today and it works super freaky fast but wont the same thing just happen again, when more ppl switch to muppet it will just go slow?

What I would really like to know now is: How do we turn Ecksor into a sweetie pie ?... He says "I would like to know" but, do not use this phrase or that word. Christ it makes you feel as if your back at school

Am I correct, this is the Feedback Forum right.

Right then, Paddy20 contemplates his navel, as he has lost the plot completely

N.B. Oh, I really like Ecksors News on the front page, last updated 18/08 ?.. It's really up to date, with hot news Phhhhht.

Even you have to admit that was funny Ecksor, humourous is the word you were looking for not twat, on a serious note, it's been fine all day today, fast load times so somebody musta fixed something

Paddy, the whole point is that if you don't actually present information that we can use then your feedback isn't much use to us, which I tend to assume people are intending it to be unless they're just wasting time. Your phrases or words are how you communicate and out of date information isn't of any use at all. My intention is to make clear what information we're looking for and why (which I did explain in my post). If people are posting here about how the performance is abysmal then it makes sense that they give us some information that will make it no longer abysmal.

Anyway, it's unlike you to post on the Feedback forums when you're not having a go at Gandalf.

In general, from now on, it should be best that people use www.boards.ie first and the others only as a second/last resort.

Um, no. Look around boards and you'll find that there are some geniunely funny people around. You're not one of them. Considering your recent history on this forum and the fact that I'm one piece of evidence away from nailing you as a filthy multi-account crapmonger on these forums I tend to label you twat until proven otherwise.

Ecksor,

Re: Gandalf,

I stopped having a go at Gandalf a long time ago, I even took his name off my ignore list, and I have even posted on the Politics forum again.

No point in being annoyed forever. Life's too short!.

I'm happier than I've ever been. Do you think that only unhappy people point out that you're a twat?

I'm at home now on my BB. Pinged pie, muppet and www and they are all nice around the 24ms... But I find it very difficult to get on... its 5am. I don't understand. I am using ie on this machine.
