[JDEV] JEP-51 Server Transfer

[Richard Dobson]

Exactly but depending on the server implementation (not every server runs
the jabberd) it could be another server, but if it is a jabberd then what
you are saying is correct, although of course the ip address could well have
a dns entry which you try to connect to instead of an IP but you do have to
make sure that when connecting you specify the original domain/server name.

e.g.

C: connect to jabber.org
S: redirects to server2.jabber.org
C: connects to server2.jabber.org, but when connecting uses jabber.org in
the stream, not server2.jabber.org

gets an iq-"Server Transfer", disconnects, and connects to another server
e.g. "server2.jabber.org". How do other clients and servers (s2s) know that
the client is connected to "server2.jabber.org". They will still know the
user as "user at jabber.org" and send messages through s2s to "jabber.org", not
to "server2.jabber.org" where the user is connected.
