This might be a feature request, but I'm not sure. I run a closed network
of 3 servers that requires an SSL connection for clients. The only
problem is that it really doesn't. We require clients to join via SSL via
heavy-handed opers/users basically.
The problem is that for server linking, we have to leave a plaintext port
open. The only way users don't know of this port is because we don't tell
them what it is (i.e. security through obscurity, which we all know is
bad). What I'd like is a way to limit a port's connections to only
machines that have a connect block in the config. Is there a way to do
this currently? I know I could set up a firewall of some sort on each
server, but sharing a common conf file for the ircd would be considerably
easier.
