I'd be fine with that, sounds like a good solution. I guess it doesn't need to be on our main server, probably for the better it's not, now that you mention it.

Can it not share a server with one of our lowest-used servers though? Surely one of the two cheap ones we have could also handle the nab mirroring software in addition to what it's already doing? Or maybe we could test that out before we go disabling any existing features?

Like maybe we could put it on the IRC server, get nab running, and then turn the IRC back on to see if it can handle both? That'd save us $5/mo, which is $60/year so might be worth it

yeah, we could put it on the IRC server. the only issue is that it's setup to skip CloudFlare because we thought about launching external IRC client access. if we put that on hold, we can give the server and the NAB instance CloudFlare protection/CDN which I believe he's using on the main nab, and it'd be desirable. this also hides the real ip aside from it being public now :)

a similar approach is to put IRC onto TheLounge server, giving up on external IRC clients, and spinning up a fresh server and ip for the nab instance.

Yeah we could lose the external IRC connections. I don't think anyone is using that feature really. So can we just put the IRC server behind cloudflare, and then put the nab mirror on that? I think that'd be pretty good from a load-balancing standpoint, and it won't cost us any more money. Sound alright? Would you mind creating the login for him on that server?

Awesome man. Let me know when his login info is available, PM it to me, and I'll pass it along to go1dfish and explain to him the organization structure of our servers and so on.

I started reconfiguring chat last night for this nab plan. Hopefully I'll finish it off tonight.

Okay sounds good. Just give me the login credentials for go1dfish whenever you have them ready
