Re: DNS ting (fwd)
There have been other replies,
I thought I'd add a note about the fact that it's really
impossible to change without breaking the protocol,
break the RFC (in a major way).
You have to remember that IRC messages have a maximum length
of 512 bytes, which is really not much, and you're talking
about using more than half of this for your nick!user@host
prefix.
