The last server doing it that *I* remember was, I think mtecv2.something.mx,
and it wasn't that long ago, and it was an open server.
Anybody who used outside of that local domain was listed as 
<your user name>@itesm.something.mx.  Always.

"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute.
But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours.
THAT'S RELATIVITY." (Albert Einstein)

The following is a list of servers on the IRC net that you can't connect to
directly because their names can't be resolved via normal means.

If you are new to irc, and are getting frustrated at trying to connect,
then try an alternative.

So we're all drinking
As leaves fall to the gound
Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down
