IRC protocol specifies a clunky server federation system. It doesn't seem very useful in the modern world given the capabilities of available hardware.

One alternative is to create an IRC forwarding proxy. It would transmit traffic to the real server as tagged messages so that replies can be distributed to the matching connection on the proxy side.

I'm working on a forwarding proxy in the router branch. This should allow a single instance of the server to support > ULIMIT sockets by hosting routers on different machines. For high availability, we should consider some sort of hot replication as well.
