Details

With resolve_reverse_lookup set, Irssi tries to use the information obtained by the reverse lookup when the connection to the server breaks and Irssi tries to reconnect.

Here is an excerpt from my status window:

Irssi tries to use the server name it obtained from the reverse lookup to refind the IP of the server to connect to.
I wonder whether this is desirable.
