[PKG-IRC-Maintainers] Bug#542480: Bug#542480: inspircd: Could not resolve your hostname when connection to localhost

[Robin Burchell]

InspIRCd does not parse /etc/hosts. You either need a DNS A record +
reverse lookup on whatever recursive nameserver you're using, or
change <options:nouserdns> if DNS is not important to you.

Hope this helps.
