Video Relay System Upgrades
Update: Despite some issues that forced us to move our Ventrilo services over to the same rack as these systems (due to power distribution issues), we now have 1/2 of the relay clients over on the new systems. While all client relays are essentially running on the new systems, we have not been able to get the IPs unbound, setup on a new vlan, bound to the new machine and then have the router arp cache cleared to make this visible to the world. Only 1/2 of the IPs we use for relays are working on the new machine presently (sourcetv5-sourcetv8.hd-gaming.com). Everyone using something else for their relay service will still be on their old systems until tomorrow morning when we can limit interruption to swap IPs. If you are using a SourceTV relay on the Sourcetv5 to Sourcetv8 DNS, please use https://SourcetvX.hd-gaming.com:10000 for your control panel url as https://relay.hd-gaming.com:10000 points to the base IP of one of the older relay systems and would not give you actual control of your server. Sorry for any confusion and delay.
We are upgrading all of our Video Relay systems from Core2Duo systems to single Quadcore Xeon X3210's with 4GB Ram each. This should allow us to extend our video services to more persons with a more stable and jitter-free experience. The IPs and DNS will NOT be changing, we will be porting the IPs over to the new machine in the next few hours. As 1-3AM EST on a Saturday morning is about as "non-prime" as we can get in competitive gaming service hours, we don't expect clients to have noticeable interruption of service. If there is, our apologies. Hopefully the upgrades are well worth the short period of downtime expected (15-20 minutes).
