[IRCServices] Startup problem

Maybe you should spend some time reading both thorougly through the Manual Files for Unreal IRCd, and more importantly Services, you seem to be new to the IRCd world, and i can appreciate that, we have all been there, wanting to get our servers up as quickly as possible, overlooking some things that dont really seem important.. however, some of the problems you are having seem to be 'elementary' stuff, which are most probably solved in a lot of manuals and alike, would save us trying to 'guess' at your issue :)

Just as a word of advise, your network layout seems a bit.. well, strange.. A Standard layout is something like the following..

server1.yournetwork.com
server2.yournetwork.com
server3.yournetwork.com
server4.yournetwork.com
services.yournetwork.com

With generally a round robin going between servers 1 to 4, called irc.yournetwork.com (Just a small note, i'm not here to tell you how to run your network, but it might make your life easier)

With all that said, and looking at your problem, i cant really see a reason why services is currently failing to link, i would (personally) call it an IRCd issue, maybe you should concider getting in touch with the UnrealIRCd team, and seeing what they have to say about it :)
