Because BOPM simply matches the target string you give it and in this  
case it matches, this simple approach saves the complexity of BOPM  
having to fully understand many proxy protocols.

You can either except the host the IRCD is running on in the config  
file or use another service on a different port that simply sends  
back a known string (e.g. put echo "proxy check string" in inetd).
