Changing world port

On Linux you might find that IP aliasing will work. So each server binds to port 9000 on a different IP address. You'll possibly have to bind to alternative addresses on the 127.0.0.0 network as well so that world and zone can talk to each other, as well as letting the LoginServer make sense.

another solution might be using vm's if you're windows based.

I am beyond all of that. The problem is when the packet comes into the router on port 9000, you can only send that to one IP address.

I know there is a way to do it with vm's, and behind a router, but it is complicated and would take alot of fiddling. i'm sure the same is true with linux ip ailiasing.

If you are trying to run two servers across the Internet, you must have two real IP addresses. If you are running multiple worlds on your private network and have no intention of others connecting from outside, you can use all kinds of fun addresses.

I hate to bump an old post but I am trying to figure this out myself so that I can run 3 eqemu servers;

apparently there might be a way with ISA server? or pound commands with linux???

basically the solution is to use subdomains and that way be able to use the same port for multiple computers on the same LAN/WAN

What I want to know is.. is there a router that can do this ? So that I don't have to dedicate a box for it?
