BOPM and port 8000

I have an issue with BOPM.

I have two IRCd's setup on the same IP as BOPM. One of the IRCd's was  
listening on port 8000.

Also on this IP I have several BNC's. This is the issue. When any of  
my BNC's connect to the IRCD the BOPM is monitoring, it k/glines it  
self (the IP everything runs on) saying that port 8000 is either an  
open HTTP or HTTPCONNECT proxy.

I know this is 100% bull. Why does BOPM blindly say that port 8000 is  
an open proxy? Shouldn't it be trying to actually relay thru it? In  
this case, port 8000 is for IRCD server connections ***ONLY***, so if  
BOPM actually tried to relay thru it, it would get denied because it  
isn't an IRCD server.

And yes, I know it shouldnt connect back to its own IP, but the fact  
is, right now, I don't have the luxury of being able to use more than  
one IP.

So, how come BOPM is blindly saying port 8000 is an open proxy when I  
clearly know its not?
