IRC is being port-forwarded "through" the firewall to IRC. ie: you hit my firewall and it sends it to the 192.168.0.2 box running the ircd on port 6667. Is this what you meant? and if so then where would you put ircd at?
Is the machine running irc services running any other services that you are using from (only) behind the firewall ? If not, IMHO it would be considerable to put it next to the firewall, run only ircd and sshd (maybe you can restrict access to it with some ipchains / -tables rules to a couple of hosts). If it's being cracked, the cracker is still in front of your firewall, not behind. Good luck ;) Bjoern
