> isnt /userip nick the same as doing /dns nick ?/

Not necessarily; certainly the implementation is completely different.

With /userip, the server is queried for the user's IP address, which it
obtained when the user connected to the server.  With /dns, the *client*
performs a DNS look-up on the user's hostname as reported by the server.
If the A records have changed between when the user connected to the
network and you do a /dns or /userip, the answers will differ.
