Try google for reverse dns if you want to know how to set something like that up.
Actually, I meant what I said, optimus. A reverse DNS lookup is the process of fetching any kind of canonical hostname from a DNS server if all you presently have is an IP address.
well i knew you did, i just wanted to be polite
computers talk in ip addresses, not human readable names. so they talk "208.101.40.56" instead "filesharingtalk.com". because it's hard to remember dns lookup is used to turn filesharingtalk.com into numbers. when numbers need to be turned back to name, guess what's used - reverse dns lookup. all this happens between you and your hosts dns server and dns server up the line.
so you see, it absolutely has nothing to do with spoofing hostnames on irc.
i would want to know too...just curious....
