    Different ports? Why would be using different ports different? They (users)
    need to go out to irc with a different IP each time they connect. In order
    to do that, psybnc needs to use that specific IP when connecting outside to
    the IRC server. I don't see how different ports will change this situation.

    Nambased vhosts work for web, I guess, but not for IRC.

    Let one correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks for all the replies. 240 IPs is far enough.
