     So fix the ircd.conf files.  I think that pretty much sums up this
matter.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  Services is not a
do-everything program; it provides useful services that cannot easily be
provided any other way within the current IRC protocol framework.  Things
that can be done outside of Services should be done outside of Services,
and I will not add such features.  This is even documented in the FAQ.

     Then you need to configure your servers better.
