I have two servers that are owned by the same entity. The name of the stations are similar. Call one Bob's Music Cafe, the other Bob's Country Cafe. Both servers are on the same dedicated server, but different port numbers (i.e. port 20398 for one, and port 7952 for the other). Both run SHOUTcast V1. Customer does not want to move to v2.
When looking at logs on the port 20338 SC server, I see the message:
<02/26/17@11:14:40> [yp_tch] new backup server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7952
and on the port 7924 SC server, i see:
<02/26/17@11:14:15> [yp_tch] new backup server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:20398
Both IPs in the log's status line are the same (same box), both SHOUTcast servers have "No" set to allow relays, and neither is relaying the other (each has nothing in the relay field). Their respective DJ's are able to stream live, yet that status line appears every 10-15 minutes.
So.... how is it possible that I am seeing this status line on both servers when neither is relaying the other? By the way, this does not appear on any of the other SC servers on the same box.
Let the mystery solving begin!
