-	 * winner. The side with the higher timestamp loses, from this point on we
-	 * will call this side the loser or losing side. This should be familiar to
-	 * anyone who's dealt with dreamforge or TS6 before.
-	 *
-	 * When two sides of a split heal and this occurs, the following things
-	 * will happen:
-	 *
-	 * If the timestamps are exactly equal, both sides merge their privilages
-	 * and users, as in InspIRCd 1.0 and ircd2.8. The channels have not been
-	 * re-created during a split, this is safe to do.
-	 *
-	 *
-	 * If the timestamps are NOT equal, the losing side removes all privilage
-	 * modes from all of its users that currently exist in the channel, before
-	 * introducing new users into the channel which are listed in the FJOIN
-	 * command's parameters. This means, all modes +ohv, and privilages added
-	 * by modules, such as +qa. The losing side then LOWERS its timestamp value
-	 * of the channel to match that of the winning side, and the modes of the
-	 * users of the winning side are merged in with the losing side. The loser
-	 * then sends out a set of FMODE commands which 'confirm' that it just
-	 * removed all privilage modes from its existing users, which allows for
-	 * services packages to still work correctly without needing to know the
-	 * timestamping rules which InspIRCd follows. In TS6 servers this is always
-	 * a problem, and services packages must contain code which explicitly
-	 * behaves as TS6 does, removing ops from the losing side of a split where
-	 * neccessary within its internal records, as this state information is
-	 * not explicitly echoed out in that protocol.
-	 *
-	 * The winning side on the other hand will ignore all user modes from the
-	 * losing side, so only its own modes get applied. Life is simple for those
-	 * who succeed at internets. :-)
-	 *
-	 * NOTE: Unlike TS6 and dreamforge and other protocols which have SJOIN,
-	 * FJOIN does not contain the simple-modes such as +iklmnsp. Why not,
-	 * you ask? Well, quite simply because we don't need to. They'll be sent
-	 * after the FJOIN by FMODE, and FMODE is timestamped, so in the event
-	 * the losing side sends any modes for the channel which shouldnt win,

+         *

+         *

+         * modes from all of its users that currently exist in the channel, before
+         * introducing new users into the channel which are listed in the FJOIN
+         * command's parameters. This means, all modes +ohv, and privilages added
+         * by modules, such as +qa. The losing side then LOWERS its timestamp value
+         * of the channel to match that of the winning side, and the modes of the
+         * users of the winning side are merged in with the losing side. The loser

+         * behaves as TS6 does, removing ops from the losing side of a split where
+         * neccessary within its internal records, as this state information is
+         * not explicitly echoed out in that protocol.

+ * The server list in InspIRCd is maintained as two structures
+ * which hold the data in different ways. Most of the time, we
+ * want to very quicky obtain three pieces of information:
+ *
+ * (1) The information on a server
+ * (2) The information on the server we must send data through
+ *     to actually REACH the server we're after
+ * (3) Potentially, the child/parent objects of this server
+ *
+ * The InspIRCd spanning protocol provides easy access to these
+ * by storing the data firstly in a recursive structure, where
+ * each item references its parent item, and a dynamic list
+ * of child items, and another structure which stores the items
+ * hashed, linearly. This means that if we want to find a server
+ * by name quickly, we can look it up in the hash, avoiding
+ * any O(n) lookups. If however, during a split or sync, we want
+ * to apply an operation to a server, and any of its child objects
+ * we can resort to recursion to walk the tree structure.
+ * Any socket can have one of five states at any one time.
+ * The LISTENER state indicates a socket which is listening
+ * for connections. It cannot receive data itself, only incoming
+ * sockets.
+ * The CONNECTING state indicates an outbound socket which is
+ * waiting to be writeable.
+ * The WAIT_AUTH_1 state indicates the socket is outbound and
