No, no DNS configuration issues.   The server's idea of its host name
simply doesnt resolve.  See
http://www.zoneedit.com/lookup.html?host=xenon.oftc.net&type=A&server=&forward=Look+it+up
for an example.  The question is, why is xchat-gnome attempting to
connect to a server name which is not in the network's list of servers?

Looking at the code, on line 780 of src/common/server.c it looks like it
attempts to reconnect to serv->hostname.  I debugged xchat-gnome, and
found that, indeed, serv->hostname is set to the server's alias at
reconnect time rather than being a resolvable host.  At first I thought
this was being set on line 1662 of the same file, but apparently not.
After further examination, I think it's actually line 2872 of
src/common/outbound.c  Not sure though, it could be either place, or
somewhere else entirely.  There aren't a whole lot of places where
serv->hostname is set though ( I think those are the only two)
