PoLiX Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Only downside, ssdir.playsubspace.com seems to be using cat's biller, or a biller of the same idea. So when sscentral.sscuservers.net is down, it won't pick up any new/down zones. And after a bit, will not even work at all when it doesn't get updates for so long, it always seems to crash, if it is cat's that is. Need to have another site setup another one of PriitK's directory servers, and get it into the default server.ini. Only way to have a 100% for sure backup, or alternative.
Hakaku Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 Well, from what I made of it, yes it does clone sscentral.sscuservers.net's list, but also accepts its own entries, so if all zones added ssdir.playsubspace.com in their server.ini, they should still properly display even if priitk's dir. has been down for a while. I might be wrong though :/

I might be wrong though :/ Thats correct. If prittks dir goes down the cached entried from prittks will be kept (unless replaced by a direct connection). The safest option of course would be to add ssdir.playsubspace.com to all the server.ini but that requires alot of effort. My directory server is not setup like the defaults for cat ids and it is unlikly it will crash the server (its running using wine on linux). It only checks every 4 hours or so for changes from prittks. the default settings in cat ids is 5 mins or less (i think).
