Most IRC servers basically avoid ever outputting the real IP address of.. well.. anything, to just about anyone. As for identd and IRC servers, when using the internal inetd auth service, be sure to change the '-o UNKNOWN' option to '-o UNIX', or the IRC server won't believe your ident reply comes from a correct rfc1413 source.
