518838 - [irc] irc.mozilla.org allows too few concurrent connections per IP address to 128.100.5.129

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️)]

There are a bunch of students here at the University who are trying to connect to IRC, and are getting the error "Too many connections from your IP".

(I've also had similar problems from 128.100.5.142-ish, so if you could allow more connections from that whole block, that would be nice.  :)

Thanks,
Blake.

Wrong server ops, unless gozer's taken over IRC while nobody was watching :)

Blake,

If you can get me an exact list of IPs used by the University (for outbound access) and the University name, I'll be happy to bump up the connection limit for the whole lot. The Uni sysads should be able to give you the information.

The IPs are "128.100.5.115 to 128.100.5.144", and the University is the University of Toronto.

Thanks,
Blake.
