I have spoken with a few of the admins for some of the most popular servers and it seems that the only 1 I know for sure that runs multiple zone servers is PEQ, and they do it on seperate networks to allow the ports to overlap without causing issues.
If there was a way to define which port ranges are used for which zone servers, that would make running multiple zone servers something that anyone could do.
For some reason, it seems that my server is now breaking 120+ during peak times. This is causing some pretty annoying stability issues. I could probably help this by buying some very nice server upgrades, but I can't justify spending the money and I don't want to feel obligated to my players if I ask them for donations. Being able to split the load between my main server and my other PC (which is actually nicer than the server) should increase stability considerably. I tried setting it up that way for 1 night and it seemed to make a huge difference. Unfortunately the first zone to be reset was nexus (my server base) and it was restarted on the wrong port making it unavailable.
I don't want to ask anyone to put alot of time into getting this to work, but if there are any coders out there that see this and think they can make the fix in a reasonable amount of time, I think it would be a great thing for anyone running a server from home when they need it.
I am a network technician, so if there are network related questions to get this working, perhaps I can help with that part.
