Andy, I don't want to be rude or anything but why would anyone want to have
a network where servers are connected in a circular fashion?  It would
require additional bandwidth making the rule of thumb go up. :(  Not
forgetting additional RAM required for the ircd to remember that it has
various paths to send data to reach server x.

Currently the DALnet implementation of irc protocol is quite good, well
actually the best comparing it to ircu, irce etc. etc.

Many IRC Networks are basing their ircd's on DALnet code! (Believe it or not).
