Test Server

[provocating]

Is it possible to run two servers on one Debian Installation without VM's ?

I cannot seem to get world to connect to a private login server twice.

This should be possible, however for the 2nd "test" server, you will have to change the port on the world server and zone servers, as well as creating a new database in the sql server, with this, all should be possible.

Not that simple, your going to have problems with the world server It needs to run on port 9000 this is hard coded into the client. I'm sure there are way to accomplish this, but there is no easy solution.

I gave up on the idea anyway.

It should be possible to use IPALIAS to bind the second server to a second ip address on the same interface.

is there a way to do it with a public login server?!? and only one WAN ip?

I've been thinking about this a bit, and I think there's a possible way to do it, but I don't have the hardware:

You'd need to use ssh port forwarding on another machine to rewrite packets.

Machine A: Eqemu server, modified to use ports + 10000. ssh set up to source route packets to C

Machine B: Different network, using ssh port forwarding to redirect packets, so that packets to B:7000 get forwarded to A:17000, and packets from A:17000 get redirected to C:7000.

Machine C: Game client. Loginserver is telling this machine that Machine B is the game server.

I think this *might* work, but is likely to take a lot of effort to make work, and could easily be a maintenance nightmare, and to add latency. Unlikely to be worth the effort.
