How do I connect 5 servers, I need some help !

[Juan Francisco Rodriguez Hervella <jrh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

I had the following configuration of IRC servers:

S1 -> S2 -> S3

I had to write something like this inside "ircd.conf" of servers S1 and
S3:

H:*::S2::

We would like to expand this network with 2 new servers, like this:

S4 -> S5 -> S1 -> S2 -> S3

S4 and S5 belong to other university. I have no control over that
servers.

We are not able to make this network, and I think that it is a problem
with H lines.

Is it sufficient to write this
(S4)  H:*::S5::
(S3)  H:*::S2::
and nothing more in S{5,1,2] ?

Or do I need to write the following ?
(S4) H:*::S5::
(S5) H:*::S1::
(S1) H:*::S5::
(S1) H:*::S2::
(S2) H:*::S1::
(S3) H:*::S2::

If with this example my question seems too confusing
I will try to explain me better.

Thank you very much.
