Allow multiple connections to same host

[Raptime]

Many IRC proxies use separate connections for each separate network. Typically these separate connections will differ only in the server password supplied, which connects you to different sessions on the bouncer

Any way to allow multiple connections to the same host in CIRC ?

A possible temporary workaround is available if you have your own domain name: create multiple CNAMEs pointing to the real host. This is a hack, but should allow you to get running in the short term.

I encountered this today connecting to a second login on my bouncer. I used the ip address for the second one and I will add something to dns later. Not a big issue but it is a bit of a time waster because CIRC doesn't give any feedback.

Here's a workaround to circumvent this:

Use xip.io so you can prepend a descriptive name to the host and separate each one:

• freenode.10.0.0.1.xip.io
• ircnet.10.0.0.1.xip.io
• quakenet.10.0.0.1.xip.io

They'll all point to 10.0.0.1 (which you should change to your server's IP) just the same.
