[IRCServices] Re: backups

[Chris]

I know this is not what you guys are looking for, but so you don't get a
huge mess, you could try making something like DALnet's (or use to be).
When main services go down, instead of worrying about making all this have
to match(which could be a real pain) make a services link that would say
that services are temporarily down and other nice stuff. This may be coded
directly into the dalnet IRCD, as I think it is, because server's with no
links whatsoever have this message. I don't know, just throwing in my
worthless comments =)
