Host 2 servers on 1 box?

[Mobious 0]

I have searched for this on the forums but with the limited results I havent figured out how to host 2 ARMA servers on one box.

Has anyone been able to host 2 ARMA server on one box with both servers having 2 different IPs?

what size server's are you talking about pulling off by the way ?

[Mobious 0]

As large as I can make it (32-64+). We have a really good box with 100mb connection.

I currently run the [uSA] =IMO= Evolution server.

Server Specs

1 Intel \ 2.4 GHz 1066FSB - Conroe \ Xeon 3060 (Dual Core)

2 Generic \ 1024 MB \ DDR2 667 ECC

1 Maxtor \ 250GB:SATA:7200RPM \ MaxLine Plus II

Microsoft Windows 2003 - OS Standard Edition

Why would you need two different ips?

I can't think of a single good reason.

Just use different ports (to fullfill salisans thought)

server.exe -port=2302

server.exe -port=2306

SES run 2 Armed Assault servers on the same box, same ip, just different ports. Although if you wanted to run 2 evolution servers it might struggle.

i'll be very impressed if you get 2 64 slot servers running off one box. - every 64 player server i've been on seems to be running on the edge of its limits. (largly i expect due to the dual core situation atm).

You definitely need isolate each on its own core, i think small RAM size turns to be issue too ...

and for complex mission and tons of AI such Xeon maybe way too slow (hint quad 1333/3GHz ones)

The problem is if two servers have the same map but different updates to the scripts it will mess them over. I had to run them under different profiles other wise it would run the wrong scripts (Same names though).

Ah yeah sorry,we have the 3 separate arma folders setup on the box!

[sirex 0]

are these three servers all large (50 or so slots) and in use at the same time ?

if you have 3 empty servers, or 1 empty and 2 with 10 guys on, it'd make sense.

Quite often 2/3 are running! but may not have players on?

but usually public is playing evolution,while we do our clan stuff on one of the others.

so yeah prob would sirex!

I have mine setup in the same folder. Renamed the Dedicated exe, have a seperate config, but one runs under a different login than the other. Works great so far.

ok my own dumb mistake. I had tried changing the port to something else in the past and it never worked. Welp I guess it would help if the shortcut or service pointed to the right server exe and config. DOH!.. Anyway.. I had planned on putting up a Hold server using Berzerk's maps. Other than Evolution what other maps or game mode would a be a good one to set up?

Any by 'celery' are quite good maps! check the user mission thread!

There are also some good other ones in there too!
