That is a problem. Anytime a static zone crashes or resets, it will restart in a dynamic zone that is already in idle state waiting for someone to zone in.
I have recently switched to Linux and have completely disabled all of my zone resetter scripts. Apparently player ghosting doesn't happen on Linux at all, and I wasn't able to get someone to actually confirm this until recently. So far, it seems really promising. I used AndMetal's Wiki for a Debian Linux install and some info from one of the other Linux Wikis.
I am going to do another rebuild of Linux on my server PC (it is running on my main PC atm) and I will write some guide additions to help anyone else get things completely setup. The guides available are really great, but there are a couple of nice things that could be added to help some.
If you ever decide to try building a Linux server again, I should be able to give you a hand now, since I have done it a couple of times. Mine is up and running good, but I am still a noob myself lol. I am still working on tweaking the server. So far it seems really nice.
