[hybrid] failing to link

[Alex Hooper]

Hi,

I'm migrating our internal IRC server to another machine and want to connect the 
old and new servers during the process. The old server is running ircd-hybrid6, 
the new, ircd-hybrid7. I'm obviously doing something wrong in the config as I 
keep getting the error

   Attempt to re-introduce server *.com SID  from [unknown at kodak.xxx.com]

The config in the new server (bream.internal.xxxxx.com/10.1.204.38) says:

connect {
         name = "kodak.xxx.com";
         host = "172.26.0.14";
         send_password = "password";
         accept_password = "password";
         port = 6667;
         aftype = ipv4;
         class = "server";
};

The config in the old server (kodak.xxx.com/172.26.0.14) says:

C:10.1.204.38:password:bream.internal.xxxxx.com:6667:2
N:10.1.204.38:password:bream.internal.xxxxx.com:2:2



In the new server (bream), I see the following output:

   bream.internal.xxxxx.com! Attempt to re-introduce server *.com SID  from
                 | [unknown at kodak.xxx.com]


In the old (kodak), I see:

    kodak.xxx.com! Connection to bream.internal.xxxxx.com activated.
    kodak.xxx.com! Server bream.internal.xxxxx.com[unknown at 255.255.255.255]
                 | closed the connection
    kodak.xxx.com! bream.internal.xxxxx.com had been connected for 0 days,
                 | 0:00:01


The "unknown at 255.255.255.255" looks somewhat suspect but, frankly, I am devoid 
of clue. Am I doing something laughably stupid (as is often the way)? Or can you 
  shed some light on where I'm going wrong?

Many thanks,

Alex.
