Networking multiple ircd's

[Koen Martens <gmc@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ircd users,

I have been trying to tackle the problem i have described below for  
a while now. I just don't seem to get what is wrong.

The situation: we have 4 ircd's on our internal net: irc.metro.cx  
(10.11.1.2), irc.fash.nu (10.1.0.254), irc.icecrew.nu (10.2.0.2).
The last two should both connect to the first one.

Despite all our efforts the metro.cx server insists it is a leaf  
server (the connecten between 10.1.0.254 and 10.11.1.2 is set up,  
but when 10.2.0.2 wants to connect to 10.11.1.2 the latter gives an  
error about being a leaf). I am wondering, how does one ircd  
determine whether it is a leaf server or not??

I will include the 3 configuration files below. I really hope  
someone out there knows what is wrong. There is also a little  
ambiguity in the documentation (or in my understanding of the  
documentation).
I have included both C and N lines at the moment for each  
connection, though the manual hints that only one end needs to  
define C and the other N.. However, when i try it like that they  
wont connect at all, giving 'Unknown error'.

I hope this is enough info to judge where i might be wrong. Oh btw,  
we are all using version 2.10.3p1.

here are the config's:
