I guess it would be possible to store a small amount of state with the connections link structure - perhaps having a port-specific link allocation routing that allocates a bit extra for IRC ports and then uses that extra bit to remember which address to use. Of course this is assuming you can figure out which address should be used in time - maybe it's part of the initial conversation ? As I said, I know nothing about IRC, so I'm just speculating. > joelh > > -- > Joel Ray Holveck - joelh@gnu.org > Fourth law of programming: > Anything that can go wrong wi > sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
