Option for lookup local hostname as seen by the IRC server

Open Pan7 opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Option to disable hostname lookup if DCC or any other p2p service isn't required. No more "Looking up the local hostname as seen by the IRC server " and "Unable to resolve the local hostname as seen by the IRC server: DNS query failed, using previously resolved" ... messages.

Need to bump KVI_NUM_BOOL_OPTIONS

Maybe it would be better to remove the lookup because IRC servers often change it to protect users.

The lookup can still be useful to others, so removing it is not convenient. A option already exists to avoid resolving the hostname returned by the server. Look at the "broken bouncer hack" in DCC -> Advanced
