They don't specify the same thing.  1 specifies server name...the
other specifies IP which to bind().  You might want a server
with the name of joe.blow.com but the ip to bind to be 127.0.0.1.

I'm not sure about the vif support in irc2.9.x, but I know it works
in efnet code on Solaris...so it shouldn't be a Solaris issue.
