Not sure what the reasoning is here, but perhaps geared towards
addressing botnet joins?

Subject: DNS Hijacking by Cox
It looks like cox is hijacking dns for irc servers.
bash2-2.05b$ nslookup
> server 68.6.16.30
Default server: 68.6.16.30
Address: 68.6.16.30#53
> irc.vel.net
Server: 68.6.16.30
Address: 68.6.16.30#53
Name: irc.vel.net
Address: 70.168.71.144
> server ns1.vel.net
Default server: ns1.vel.net
Address: 207.182.224.10#53
> irc.vel.net
Server: ns1.vel.net
Address: 207.182.224.10#53
Name: irc.vel.net
Address: 64.161.255.2
it looks like they are using it to clean drones, when you connect to
their fake irc server you get forced joined into a channel.
