[JDEV] server to server

[Ben Schumacher]

S2S is needed only if you're trying to connect to any available Jabber 
servers. For example, if you want your server and users to be able to 
communicate with the server and users at jabber.org or jabber.com. However, 
if you're just trying to connect two Jabber server in a closed Jabber 
network,  you will want to use a base_connect to a base_accept.

So, to answer your questions.
1) You're combining two possible ways of making connections between two 
Jabber servers.
2) Yes, base_connect can be used to establish an S2S connection, but it 
will only work if the IP, port and secret are configured in a base_accept 
with those addresses.
3) Your Jabber server is trying to connect to update.jabber.org to report 
its current version of the JSM module as an update query. The dnsrv error 
is because its not resolving update.jabber.org.

You might try setting up services similar to these:

<!-- This is the base_accept for 'server1.jabber.example.com' -->
<service id="serverconnect">
  <host>server2.jabber.example.com</host>
  <accept>
   <ip>10.0.0.2</ip>
   <port>5269</port>
   <secret>test</secret>
  </accept>
</service>

------

<!-- This is the base_connect for 'server2.jabber.example.com' -->
<service id='serverconnect'>
  <host>server1.jabber.example.com</host>
  <connect>
   <ip>10.0.0.1</ip>
   <port>5269</port>
   <secret>test</secret>
  </connect>
</service>

That *SHOULD* work. I'm sure if I got anything wrong somebody will be more 
than happy to correct me.
