An EQ server farm is completly possible, thats the way my server runs, I am currently running 4 computers that spread the load nicley. Its all n how you setup the config file on each machine.

Sounds like alot of work to me when you could just run some batch files off each machine you want to run some zones with the IP of the machine thats got the Wold.exe running on it in the batch files.....works fine for me ..But either way, yes it could be done..

best to also have just world and the sql on the same machine and launch the zones from the others.

So what is your configuration and how do you set up each machine?

OKay scince you asked here is the config files.

World server Configuration:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Innorukk</shortname>
<longname>Innorukk</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) "FOR THIS CONFIGURATION TO WORK YOU NEED TO"-->
<address>game.242.ca</address> <!--Realworld Domain or IP address-->
<localaddress>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</localaddress> <!--internal ip address of the world and sql server. -->
<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>XXXXXXXXX</account>
<password>XXXXXXXXX</password>
</loginserver>
<zones>
<defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>
<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
<ports low="7000" high="7500"/>
</zones>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>XXXXXXXXXX</username>
<password>XXXXXXXX</password>
<db>XXXXXXXXXX</db>
</database>
<!-- Launcher Configuration -->
<launcher>
<!-- <logprefix>logs/zone-</logprefix> -->
<!-- <logsuffix>.log</logsuffix> -->
<exe>zone.exe</exe>
<timers> restart="10000" reterminate="10000" initial="20000" interval="2000" </timers>
</launcher>
</server>

1 machine configured as above.


Zone Server computer Configuration:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Innorukk</shortname>
<longname>Innorukk</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->

</loginserver>
</world>
<!-- Chatserver (channels) information. Defaults shown -->
<zones>

</zones>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</host> <!--IP Addres of worl/sql server machine-->
<port>3306</port>
<username>xxxxxxxxx</username>
<password>xxxxxxxxxx</password>
<db>innorukk70</db>
</database>
<!-- Launcher Configuration -->
<launcher>
<!-- <logprefix>logs/zone-</logprefix> -->
<!-- <logsuffix>.log</logsuffix> -->
<exe>zone.exe</exe>
<timers> restart="10000" reterminate="10000" initial="20000" interval="2000" </timers>
</launcher>
</server>

3 machines configured like this.


It runs pretty smooth and it balances the load nicly. They don't have to be big bad machines.
