ok, nifty.  now does anyone have experience in convincing two ircd
2.10.3p3 servers to talk to each other.  i get very little feedback from
the servers:

    Feb 20 12:08:04 inle ircd[16469]: Lost connection to remote.server[-root at 10.10.10.10]:Success

is about it.  to describe the topology:

    local.server has an M line that specifies 1.2.3.4 as it's ip address.
	one that local clients will use, and one that the remote.server
	will use.
    
    remote.server has an M line that specifies 10.10.1.1 as it's ip address.
	this machine has one other ip address, and this is the one
	that the local.server will connect to.

the docs say that the ip in the M line is used to set the outgoing
address, but in stracing the servers i see it using the interface you'd
expect from the topology of the network.
