Configuration

This article explains the UnrealIRCd 3.4.x configuration file (unrealircd.conf and other *.conf files).

= Sharing settings between servers = When you run multiple IRC servers (in the same IRC network) then it makes sense to put these "shared settings" in a separate configuration file and only put server-specific settings in the unrealircd.conf directly.

You could put all the shared settings in a file called network.conf, for example, then copy it to all your servers and include it from your unrealircd.conf. Or even better: use Remote includes so your servers fetch a copy of it by HTTP(S) upon start and /REHASH.. then you only have to update one file, rehash your servers, and the settings are active network-wide.

Many settings can be shared among servers. Only the Me block and possibly the Listen block and some other settings are unique for each server.
