SSCentral.com Directory Shutdown

[PoLiX]

Until further notice I have shutdown the SSCentral.com directory server.

 

This is due to issues with Snrrrub's directory server crashing when wanting to connect to "sharvil.nanavati.net", and no source for version 1.1 which fixed other crash bugs from 1.0 (source available).

 

There seems no point in running a back up to "sscentral.sscuservers.net" if SSCU/SSCX directory ports are blocked by their server firewall. If their directory is offline and sscentral's crashes, it won't be able to receive the zone information from the servers on a restart (an issue experienced a couple times before). The sscentral.sscuservers.net directory has proved stable for some time now, and it is has been pretty easy to have priit restart it when he is notified it is down.

 

So as previously stated, our directory server will be offline until further notice.

Too bad, sscentral.com was one of the most stable ones apart from 'sscentral.sscuservers.net'.

You seem to have solid arguments to shut it down though.

 

Thanks for the directory service :-)
