their DNS is hosed AFAICT

jmm at sublogic:/home/jmm% whois freenode.net|grep nserver
nserver:        ns1748.freenode.net 66.140.25.156
nserver:        ns.bofh.it 213.92.8.2
jmm at sublogic:/home/jmm% host irc.us.freenode.net 66.140.25.156
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
jmm at sublogic:/home/jmm% host irc.us.freenode.net 213.92.8.2

in the mean time, you can use this IP, which is the same server
(orwell) that Ben Reed's using too :)

jmm at sublogic:/home/jmm% netstat -na|grep 6667
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.2:1378        213.28.116.205:6667 ESTABLISHED
