The libalias stuff is stateless at the moment. 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.
