[Dxspider-support] If you connect with WB3FFV-2 Node..

[Howard Leadmon]

    Hello all,

  I have gotten a bunch of emails saying they have changed their 
connects to be -3, and there should be no need to do this, just make 
sure that -2 and -3 are both set as Spider nodes.

  In short, I will rename WB3FFV-3 to WB3FFV-2 and make it the main 
node.   After that I will re-point the DNS for dxc.wb3ffv.us (and 
dxc.leadmon.net) to the new IP address that is now points to the new 
WB3FFV-2 (mojo node), and off we go.

  While DNS cache's flush (this could take a day on the Internet), it's 
possible you could connect to the old node that has become WB3FFV-3, but 
it shouldn't matter as the configs are identical, just it will identify 
as WB3FFV-3, and they are interconnected.   Hence my suggestion that you 
also do a "*set/spider WB3FFV-3*" as well.   This way you will happily 
talk to the node regardless of if it's WB3FFV-2 or WB3FFV-3, nothing 
else needs done.

  The one exception of to this is, and note!   If for some reason you 
connect to me using a hard-coded IP address, and you really shouldn't as 
my DNS should be solid.  You will need to repoint your node to the NEW 
IP's that are being used on the new server.   That said I strongly 
suggest that you use *dxc.wb3ffv.us* as what you connect with, it's the 
right way to do it, and then you will automagically use IPv6 if available.

  I hope this helps explain things in a little more detail..

73's de WB3FFV
