Dear sudo-sys,
I set up a Mumble server for Sudo Room. It is running uMurmur on
Sudo Room's saros machine, and is reachable at address
room.sudorom.org.
That's cool but why does it have to be on our router, vs one of the
other machines?
The router has IPv6.
room.sudoroom.org has both an A record and AAAA record. If the router
forwards the port to another machine for IPv4 only, clients may connect unsuccessfully to
the IPv6 address first before connecting to the IPv4 address. This adds a significant
delay during connection since Mumble seems to not connect to both addresses simultaneously
but waits for one to time out before connecting to the other.
