As I said gpdza, the fault was on my side. Was having a bad day and was a bit overly grumpy..

No hard feelings I hope..?

Sorry if I sounded arrogant. What I meant was you should not look at eggdrop as having the problem. I didn't intend it to sound like "don't post that here".

Well, that's certainly right. But I got the impression that he meant that this had nothing to do with eggdrop, thus should not be posted in this forum. Which is, strictly speaking, true, now that I think about it

Anyway, I might've misinterpreted or something. My bad.

Since you've already said that the IP doesn't reverse-lookup even with BX, quite obviously this cannot be an eggdrop problem.

Hello!

So, I've finally gotten the drop to work exactly the way I want it. Almost. See, it still get's a hostmask with a numeric IP, rather than the really witty domain I purchased expressly for this purpose. Same thing with BitchX, when IRCing from it.

Reverse lookup is enabled for this IP with the ISP, the domain has an a-record, everything works.. except for this. Where/how do I change/fix it?

BTW, the DNS setup may not be exactly standard. I've got the DNS-record for the domain at a free company called mydomain.com. Lovely service. Anyway, it's pointed to the IP, which is connected through a local SDSL ISP. The ISP, in turn have activated reverse lookup for this IP on their dns-servers. But it's not their dns-servers that actually host the A-record. (hope that's not too unclear. I know next to nothing about DNS).

Anyway, is there some setting or something I need to tweak? I've already played with the settings in the conf for vhosts, and that doesn't help much I'm afraid.
