Known Issues
------------
- Known Issues in SILC Server
- Two or more servers with same IP must not be linked to
same network,
even if server ports are different. This is
limitation in current
implementation and may cause desync problems in the
network.
- Adding or removing listenning interfaces (secondary
interfaces in
silcd.conf) does not work in rehash (rehash is kill
-HUP <server
PID>).
Changing listenning interfaces requires reboot of the
server.
- Router to router connections may not work as
expected.
