Maximum Connections

(1/3) > >>

vashon:
Hi,
  Using the search I've found various references to the maximum number of chat connections from a single IP. However I'm after a fairly definitive answer to this as I'm thinking of making bot hosting services availiable to other orgs.
  I have access to and currently run 3 bebots on a dedicated linux server for 24/7 connectivity. If anyone knows the answer to this I would be very happy!

I run into troube at something around 20 bots on 5 accounts. Can't remember the exact numbers.

Heffalomp:
it is somewhere around 20 connections/IP, usualy stops around 18-20/ip here, haven't counted it properly, but not that hard to do a test on that =)

vashon:
Thanks Alreadythere and jokskar.. I'll set my limit at 15 to play it safe.

I'm on a Linux host which is plenty beefy ... if it wasn't for the max connections from a single IP I could easily double my number of bots (we have 3 orgbots, 1 org relay, 2 raid bots, now 4 slaves ... and host another 5-6 for PVP bots ... but would like to add more raid bots and possibly others).

If I can get my host to bind another IP address to my server, does anyone know if there is a way to force PHP or the bot code to connect through the 2nd IP?

If it were inbound connections it would be easy to do via multiple host names, but since it is outbound I don't know what the mechanism (if any) would be.

It would be a lot cheaper and alot EASIER than paying for and managing a 2nd host. I know I can consolidate the MySQL servers on a single host, but that really isn't the bigger management hassle.
