Do it in the M:lines.

Server1:
M:(Server1's name):200.248.240.59:(Server1's description):7029

Server2:
M:(Server2's name):200.248.240.59:(Server2's description):7030

Note the IP/hostname will be the same for both servers.

Be careful with the P:lines; some ircds crash if you have the same port in the
P:line as the one in the M:line.
Also note the NEITHER server can have the same ports (P:lines) as the other.
That means you cannot have P:lines for port 6667 on both ircds, which might
deflate your idea of allowing 2000 (or more) clients easily, since 1000 of
those clients would need to specify another port when they connect.

The exception to all that would be if you used another vhost, i.e. as if you
had another shell/machine.

I know nothing about the kernel restrictions... but regardless, this line
limits you to 1024 incoming clients:

>> Y:1:90:0:1024:100000

Change the 1024 to something higher.
