Hi Ilja!
I am confused about the server group configuration. This should work like this: My server connects to the first server in the group, when the first becomes unavaible, my server connects to the second? Did I understand that right?
Yes.
and ngircd --configtest (again only the server part):
[SERVER] Name = tool.dev.netz Host = mow.ath.cx Port = 6667 MyPassword = xxxxxxxx PeerPassword = xxxxxxxx Group = 100
Okay, ngircd "detects" only one configured server.
Does anyone see the problem?
Yes, I do :-)
You have to use multiple [server] blocks, one for each server:
--- [server] name = name_a host = a.host.net group = 123 ...
[server] name = name_b host = b.host.net group = 123 ... ---
Reason: Subsequent variables in a single block overwrite each other:
--- [server] name = a name = b ---
will be interpreted by ngircd as
--- [server] name = b ---
