IRC proxy?
Is there such a thing as an IRC proxy? One that would let me use 'more than one' local IRC client to connect into remote IRC services and appear as only one session?
I believe a lot of people use dircproxy:
http://www.dircproxy.net/index.html
I don't know if it meets your needs to multiplex multiple clients into one entity on the server.
From the homepage:
"dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to remain connected and see what they missed while they were away. You connect to IRC through dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to the server, even after you detach your client from it. While you're detached, it logs channel and private messages as well as important events, and when you reattach it'll let you know what you missed. "
