The bans are checked at the local server; since that server knows both
the client's IP and hostname, it can do the checks easily.  Kelmar has
already adressed the other side of this.

As for having services remove such bans, bahamut supports a channel
version of SVSMODE (since one of the early 1.4.x releases at least):

SVSMODE channel -b nick nickts

nickts is optional, and I'm not entirely sure what it's used for.  It
appears to be another check to make sure the right person is targetted.

All matching bans for that nick are removed by the client's server,
whether hostname or IP based.
