[IRC-DEV] Ips virtuales del irc-hispano, puesto como ejemplo en una lista de correo...

[Zoltan]

En la lista del Universal IRCD de Carlo Wood ( http://ircu.sourceforge.net )
se discute sobre la implementación de un sistema de ocultación de ips reales
al ircd, y uno ha puesto el ejemplo del ircd del hispano.

Un saludo
