Install an openfire instance for each domain…and then setup the SRV record in DNS for each server. this will allow the servers to find each other… Once that is done, you can use s2s

Hi

thank you very much for your quick response.

Can you please be more specific about SRV records of each domain and once it is added, if at all i am login to spark for domain abc.com and want to chat with another user of domain xyz.com.

if you have step by step information kindly share.

Regards

Hi

The other workaround for this to work is to setup a Virtual LAN (VLAN). Although this configuration requires a lot of time.

Here is the Link from Cisco on how to configure VLAN:

Configure InterVLAN Routing on Layer 3 Switches - Cisco

If you have other brand of network switch with LAYER 3, the cisco will give you an idea on how to setup VLAN. You’ll get the idea.

Hi

thanks for your response.

if my both the servers are in same subnet, shall i go for VPN?

Thanks

Hi,

If on same subnet, but different IP class, yes I believe it still requires VLAN to connect to each other.

Please correct me if there is something wrong, guys… thank you
