The issue is that irc.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au is inaccessible from many WAIX IPs.
Perhaps the solution would be to have a irc.waix.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au which _is_
on a WAIX IP# and either tunnel that to the IRC server on mako, or have mako
use that IP# too.

I understand your concern with breaking it, but there is still a couple of
things that need to be done for it to work right.
