while presently changing my interface mtus on all interfaces on my lan to 9000 due to my adoption of 10,000 megabit networking, i discovered that isc dhcpd supports a dhcp response option to specify an irc server to a client.
imagine a world where when you connect to a lan your irc client automatically connects to the local server specified in dhcp
@Zergling_man it could prove useful for so many things. apple used to do multicast chat on a lan, too, via the os-builtin ichat app.

@sneak that's a feature for different time
@sneak Would this work if the IRC client was installed after connection? And, where can I find out more about this? It could prove useful for computer camps.
