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.
