For the third time: When one of those boxes connects to your box, the OS
installs a host route for that box. That's why they are in the routing
table.

I don't know. Maybe your irc software doesn't really do what it says it
does. Maybe the -H doesn't work if it's not a real interface. Why don't
you have a look at the code? It won't be that hard to work out what it
does with the -H option. Look for code around calls to "bind()".
