You didn't tell us what ivand87's IP address was, but are you sure it  
wasn't 70.121.135.188?  (That is what 467987bc is telling you with  
encoded_ip=2.  It is even more obvious set to 3 as I suggested.)  If  
you want to ban then from using the cgiirc server, you certainly can  
use that IP address in your cgiirc "ipaccess" file.

If you want to ban them at the remote IRC daemon from using that  
server or a particular channel on that server, you are right you will  
have to make it a function of the user name because the IP address at  
the irc daemon will always look like your web server (208.113.192.21).

I don't think so, the bit you quoted was about identd... and many  
hosts no longer run it (or at least no longer allow access outside of  
the LAN).  Its purpose was to narrow down which user on a multi-user  
host was using a service.
