  34 <PRE>     Just a quick response to this before I head off to work:
  35
  36 &gt;<i>1. MultiCast Networking for IRC Networks &amp; Services:
  37 </I>&gt;<i>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  38 </I>
  39      While an interesting idea, the biggest problem is that IRC servers
  40 don't support it, and unless you personally want to update every server
  41 in existence that probably won't change anytime soon.  There would also
  42 be the problem of obtaining a multicast IP for the network (I admit I'm
  43 not up on what that process entails).
  44
  45 &gt;<i>2. IPv6 Support for IRC Networks &amp; Services:
  46 </I>&gt;<i>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  47 </I>
  48      I'm in agreement about this one, though I think it's a fairly low
  49 priority at this point.
  50
  51 &gt;<i>3. SQL DataBase Support for IRC Services:
  52 </I>&gt;<i>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  53 </I>
  54      As someone else pointed out, this would involve a significant
  55 rewrite for a comparatively small improvement.  Moreover, using SQL
  56 could actually hurt performance due to the overhead of SQL calls,
  57 and would affect reliability due to the necessity of maintaining an
  58 additional proecss (the SQL server).
