When you originate many connections from one host, of course the IP has to be taken from your one host. They would "look" like clones, but they would not necessarily be actual clones. This is just the same as what you get when an ISP uses an application proxy or port address translation, and forces _MANY_ subscribers to share one IP for IRC, Web use, etc. I would suggest making your IRC client place a unique per-subscriber-generated identifier of some sort in the USERname field, which would demonstrate the ID of a user. And which the user couldn't change -- making the ID useful for banning that user. Otherwise some user of your service might be able to actually clone, and IRC users would have no means of distinguishing which mobile user is abusing IRC. -- -Mysidia On Oct 9, 2007 10:03 PM, Juan Carlos Morales <juanmorales.y@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello to all, excuse for my English.
I have in mind a project: to do that the users can connect to the IRC from the cellular telephone through text messages (SMS), the problem is in which when being connected all the users from single host (the host has connection with the irc and the cellular operator for send and receive sms), all of them would appear like clones since they connect from the same IP.
I could install a ircd for this porpuse? (just cellular phones can connect to this irc server ) how I could solve the problems of clones?
