Unfortunately, having a subdomain won't matter when the server in your favorites is saved as an IP. A lot of players don't look in the server name or MOTD when it's a server they play on regularly, so they won't see any notice to update their favorites.
I think by load balancing it's more meant to keep the two or more servers full.. (correct me if I'm wrong). If your community gets a new server, having people redirected from the old one could help get it some popularity (would you rather join an empty or populated server?). --- Wim Barelds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > > Seems like you never had an experience of > migrating your servers to > > another ISP.
