I assume you've got TCP Syncookies enabled in your kernel (and in your /proc files)? :) I guess it's time that we encouraged that 'distributed' nature of jabber to kick in, and have more people run private servers. :) Mat. On Wed, May 23, 2001 at 12:35:49AM -0700, Jabber DevZone wrote: > @jabbe

I see what you mean now. I am not entirely convinced, however, that this is necessary when using X509 certificates since you are concerned with the integrety of the certificate, and the trustworthyness of the certificate authority, not where the particular copy of the certificate came from. Person

It'd be great if jabber servers and clients resolved jabber hostnames via SVC records (and then fell back to A records if necessary). This would allow me to host my jabber server at mydomain.com on a different box than my web server, etc without using NAT or port forwarding. :) Mathew Joh

We could also make a little stripped down AIM transport in Perl, Ruby or something that will sit on the machine of every client and accept connections only from localhost. Thus AIM sees one connection per client, and does not suspect Jabber. Mat. On Tue, 2002-01-08 at 12:51, Michael Rothwell wr
