	Yes, most IRC servers do require matching forward and reverse 
resolution.  Sorry, that's just the way life is.  Either try to find 
an IRC network and an IRC server that doesn't implement this 
requirement, or try to get your reverse DNS fixed so that the IP 
address resolves back into your proper host/domain name.
