Managing Multi-Server BanList

[hambeast]

How do you guys keep your ban list current for all servers if you place a ban on one?

Do you guys use a file merge or something similar?

edit: I am trying out using hard links like shown here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-symlinks-in-windows-vista/

I believe you want to use the BEC heartbeat feature

[Heartbeat]

In the [Heartbeat] block we add in paths to other Be ban files.
This is only in use If you are running multiple Arma2 dedicated servers on one Server but is optional to use.
Once you ban on example server 1, the ban will be automatically added to server 2, 3, 4 and so on. It depends on how many files you specify.
This function is only useful if you are running multiple servers on one machine.
If you are running a singleArma2 Dedicated server, do not use this, and just delete/remove the [Heartbeat] block.

Do not confuse this with merge. it will not merge the files only add in new bans to the defined files

One name for each file.

[Heartbeat]
BanFile0 = C:\SERVER2_CONTROL\BattlEye\bans.txt
BanFile1 = C:\SERVER3_CONTROL\BattlEye\bans.txt

FYI the how to link I used works perfectly if you use "Hard Links". I am pretty sure bec heartbeat only streams bec bans correct? Either way this solution seems to work pretty good.
