That's why they are in the routing table. > question still remains... why wouldn't it work > > i mean ircing using 2nd ip 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()".
