Issues I found with Proxy!

[StoneLegion]

The 2 biggest issues I found with proxy were the following:

1. a lot of time when you go from one server to the other the players near the gate or maybe chunks loaded or maybe just the ones you see Ghost so you still a still version and then the real version.

2. Proxy has a big bug if 2 people go through the gate within a second or 2 the second person will get the following 2 messages:

Disconnected by Server
Unable to connect to backend server

or

Connection Lost
Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

This also seams to happen a lot for people logging in and I run a big server and planning to run 3 full time in the near future but it seams that this might be a problem if we have to many users logging and porting the same time unless it can be solved your end.

REQUESTS:

1. This is a proxy and their for I see no need for the proxy to keep throwing the user to the server there not even last on. So I have earth and hell. Earth is the main server but I feel like sending me to earth and having to move then getting sent to hell is a waste of resources and also quite spammy with the login spam.

2. consider offering a double or triple proxy backup system. Why not run the proxy not on just default port but on one or 2 special other ports. Is the proxy crashing a lot? Lets provide backups if possible.

It shouldn't be to hard to have the proxy remember what server the player was last on. In fact, that makes it even more like a single server :).

One slight issue is that the first server you connect to decides the sky colour. I would have to add a command line override.

As for the double/triple thing, you can run as many proxies as you want already.

However, I think the problem is actually the Minecraft servers themselves. They don't allow rapid fire connecting. I think this is to prevent certain exploits.
