[IRCServices] ircservices with hybrid

[Andrew Kempe]

Excuse the assumptions, but hopefully I'm not swining around too much in the
dark...

I assume by the names of the ircds you've mentioned below that you're using
an ircd that has been customised with a large number of features? If this is
the case, they're probably the reason why your network seems to be consuming
so much bandwidth; hence why you've chosen a more bandwidth optimised ircd.

My question is, if I'm correct about the features and if you've decided to
sacrifice them, why not choose and ircd that has fewer features but is more
compatible with services? Is bahamut as much of a bandwidth hog as these
other ircds appear to be? As a result of their very large userbase, DALnet
have definitely made an effort to make their ircd bandwidth friendly. You'll
probably find that at the (possible) cost of a little more bandwidth, you'll
have far more support and a far longer upgrade path than if you go ahead
with the extensive modifications you'll need to make to hybrid.

Just a thought.

Andrew
