Red5, 1&1, and epoll

If you're trying to run red5 on a 1&1 managed server, you have to turn epoll support off because their linux distribution chokes on it. To do that, add this command paramater:

-Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.PollSelectorProvider


The error looks something like this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: unable to get address of epoll functions, pre-2.6 kernel?
