This pattern continues for several hours. Note that the IP address is
the same every time, even though:

Please make irssi repeat the DNS lookup on reconnection, so that it
doesn't get stuck on a single broken server like this.
Thanks,

Please see <http://bugs.debian.org/374715> which was about this exact
problem, too. For your convenience there is newer irssi sitting in
<http://backports.org/> too so that etch users don't have to suffer from
it.
I though don't think that the stable release managers will allow an
update for the issue into stable. If you though think it would be
possible get it into a stable update give me a call, the other bugreport
contains the svn revision in which it was changed so extracting the fix
shouldn't be the problem.

It is done, though it happened too late for stable, I'm sorry. :/
