Hello shinobi,
Long time no hear, I hope all is well with you.
sh> The Mystic BBS can be configured to listen on multiple ports with the
sh> BINKP server. That means what could be done is to setup several BINKP
sh> server listening on localhost. E.g. 24554, 24555, 24556, 24557, 24558.
sh> Then You can have 5 concurrent connections from the proxy server. The
sh> nginx can load-balance and this is how it could be done:
In my case I am using binkd. nginx is listening on port 24553 and if the tls
handshake is successful it passes the connection to my running binkd on the
standard port.
That's not what I would call the right way to do it.
sh> That's about it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think that's all right. All this network stuff is way above my pay grade
quite frankly. ;)
If it wasn't for Oli's help I wouldn't have been able to connect the dots.
It is my hope that the binkd developers will sit around a table at some point
and discuss what is needed to make this happen in binkd itself in a similar way
to how Mystic and Synchronet (BinkIT) handle these tls connections themselves.
Ttyl :-),
