[IRCServices] Services

[The Phantom of the Internet]

<snip>

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.

I only see one problem with this round-robin effect for services.  The 
current coding has services shut back down if there is an error where it is 
unable to connect to the specified server.  Now if services somehow hits the 
ip address on this round-robin which is down then it will shut down and wait 
to retry until the next cron job.  Which depending on the Admin who set this 
situation up could be anywhere from 5-30 minutes.
