Let me clarify, Can both BBS's use, say, port 23 for telnet? They
both have different dns addresses, but same ip.

If you have IPv6 there, then each computer will have it's own address.. but in the case of IPv4 not..
I don't /think/ so but perhaps. I know nginx can do redirection, but not sure if it'll work for telnet.

I have one computer. I want to run two BBS's. I have 1) synchronet dyndns address darkmat.synchro.net for synch and 2) a no-ip address: darkmatterbbs.ddns.net for Mystic. Both dns are pointed at xx.xx.xx.xx. When a telnet call comes into port 23, will the correct BBS answer according to dns 1, or dns 2?

An even cooler option is to have a front end on BBS 1/Port 23 that let's you pick BBS1 or BBS2 to go to and then telnet localhost:PORTOFBBS. It's either Avon or Solaris that has something like this if I remember correctly.
I have a perl script I wrote that does just that. Couple it with xinetd and you are good to go.

I am currently running Synchronet on Linux. I am using Synch's domain server for connections.

Or does it still depend on IPv4 or 6?
Sorry to be a pain.

No it won't work that way because the DNS will resolve for either
address and point to the same IP and port.
In order to do what you want on the same computer, you'd probably need
to have two network interfaces each that have their own subnet/IP
address. One of the NICs would be your Synchronet IP/dns address and
the other would be your Mystic one.

Wasn't thinking about IPv6 when I answered him. That would work too.
If they are on the same machine then no. One would take priority.

Ok last option. DDTELNET and Xinet.d. For the first 8 years I ran my
If you want DDTELNET and launch scripts I still have them.
Only one BBS can use the same IP:port combination.
You don't need multiple NICs, you can assign multiple IPs to the same
NIC on both Windows (in the advanced properties of IP in the network adapter) or Linux (ip addr add). I have multiple IPs assigned to the single NIC on my Pi and have Mystic bound to some and SBBS bound to others. All my IPs are public, so there's no router/port forwarding in the path.
I see and it lets you bind on the same port? Interesting! I did not think that would work (but obviously I never tried it).

Thanks for the replies fellas. Looks like a seperate computer or to
make people
choose which BBS to go to. Again, I appreciate the quick and
knowledgable replies.

Same port maybe but different IP. You can still never have more than
one service listening to an IP:PORT combo.
The only tricky part is working out how to configure your software to bind to specified addresses. Mystic is dead simple - you simply create "servers" bound to a specific IP:port for each protocol. Synchronet is
So yes, you can have both Mystic and Synchronet on the same machine on the same ports (I am doing this right now), but only if you can run multiple public IPs on the machine.

Cool. I feel this is a little (lot) outside of my wheelhouse. But is
very interesting. I would like to check it out.
It's all basic IP. The same basic principles work for both IPv4 and IPv6 as well. :)

You can learn it from any random issue of Popular Mechanics, with just
a few hand tools around the house. :)
