As a follow up to this thread, I wanted to make note that I have contacted all major servers and found that none of them other than PEQ use multiple zone servers. The only one I didn't check with that might be using it is Dragon Soul, which is a Chinese server.

So, it seems that this feature isn't very useful until some change is made to the code that will allow the world server to assign port ranges per zone server.

If I can ever get to a state where I understand code well enough, I might try a crack at getting this added into the source. But, right now that is a ways off. If any other coders have a chance to look into this before then, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I would mainly like to know if this would be something very complicated to change, or of this could be something that might not be too bad to add in.

Hopefully this post will come in handy for someone considering multiple zone servers in the future. And maybe there will eventually be a fix to get this working
