Dear Alex,
Is it possible to connect couple of ngircds using '/connect <IP-address>' command when you are IRCOP?
I tried such command in irc-client (Xchat):
/connect 192.168.1.2 /connect 192.168.1.2 6667
In both cases I saw message: ' 192.168.1.2 : No such server '
In configuration file I have no any [Server] sections except default where all directives are commented. Hmm... config file is fully default actually :)
