Re: Simple cell with standalone router/server + backup

: Hm. Okay. I tried making it a dummy connection like you suggested, and
: also changed to using only IP addresses, but still tcpdump shows
: absolutely no traffic on port 706 between the two hosts when I do
: state changing stuff like e.g. /join foo followed by /cmode foo +f.

The backup router configuration is wrong as well.  The backup router needs 
to use the primary router as its primary router connection and thus use 
RouterConnection.   But because it is also router it also must have real 
or dummy ServerConnection entry:

ServerConnection {
  host = "dummy";
  backup = true;
};

RouterConnection {
  host = "silc.dose.se"
  initiator = true;
};

Backup router must initiate connection to primary.

Primary then has:

ServerConnection {
  host = "dummy";
};

RouterConnection {
  host = "silc2.dose.se"
  backuphost = "silc.dose.se"
  backupport = 706;
  backuplocal = true;
};

I tested this and it worked...

: Okay that's great. I forgot to ask though; are the public keys that
: the server read in from PublicKeyDir considered state data? So that if
: I at some point E would actually allow client connections to my backup
: router, could my clients authenticate with their public keys to the
: backup router and it would work? E.g. the keys would have been
: transferred to the backup?
: 
Public keys are not transferred.
