Recommended setup for networks
If you are planning a (medium-size or big) network then we recommend starting with 3 servers: 2 for clients with a planned maximum of 5000, and 1 server as a hub. Then, expand where needed. Technically, there's no 5K limit, though, and you can run 8K users on UnrealIRCd fine on any modern machine. Even 20K clients can be on a single server, as has been done during stress testing.
