IRC, IM Proxy Implementations

["Hearn, David L." <DHearn () ADMIN FSU EDU>]

Hello all,

With the profusion of IRC related BOT exploits, we are researching an
IRC\IM proxy implementation. Since these services do have legitimate
usage, we are leery of disabling universally. We also believe a proxy
would mitigate some of issues we are experiencing. If anyone out there
has such a solution in production, and has any advice, documentation, or
links regarding the process, issues and effectiveness, I would
appreciate a jump-start. Thanks for your time and consideration.
