Now Services are no where because the .conf file only has one server (B) to link to. This is correctable if a person with access to server A is around to edit the .conf file, but the situation is that, that person is not around. So the asked for solution is to have multiple S:lines in the .conf file that Services would attempt to link to in the event the primary is down. Setting up a crontab to restart the ircd on server B is moot because server B is dead. This is what I gathered from Angel's emails. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Easy:

DNS: services-uplink-entry-point.your.domain

in DNS

services-uplink-entry-point	IN	A	196.14.22.5
				IN	A	196.14.22.14

etc.

That way the servers who's IP's are listed above get services connecting
to them on a round-robin basis.
