[JDEV] Impossible to change server-2-server port...

[Riviere Stéphane]

Hi,

I was looking for changing the s2s listening port and this functionality
seems, for the moment, impossible to use... :-(

You can effectively change the listening port of a server using the
jabber.xml file, and the server will effectively listen on that new
port...but there won't be any connection to that port !

The 5269 port is hard-coded in the dialback_out.c file (function
dialback_out_connect)
So, the mio_connect is always connecting to the remote server on the port
5269.

I think there should be a section in the jabber.xml file to configure
special remote servers. Why not some sort of "routing" table in the s2s
service section ?


<service id="s2s">
...
<virtual id="remote.hostname">
	<ip port="yyyy"> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx </ip>
</virtual>
... 
<virtual id="remote.namehost">
<ip port="zzz"/>
</virtual>
...
</service>

Clients can be configured to use a port different from 5222, so why not
servers ;-)

Jabber's still great anyway...when it'll have a better proxy support ;-)
