Smaller IRC networks actually have this feature, it's called hostname cloaking. I
heard that it's being discussed for Undernet (I'm new on this list so I don't
really know).
Cloaking hides complete hostnames from end users. Only channel ops are able to
see them and apply bans accordingly. This feature prevents harassment and port scans,
but it is nowhere near perfect.
