Ok.
Let's say that I have two clients running.
Client1 is connected to Net1 and Net2.
Client2 is connected to Net3.

I /set irssiproxy_ports Net1=10001 Net2=10002 Net3=10003

Now i load the proxymodule on Client1. Cool, no visible errors :)
Now i lood it on Client2.

Irssi: Proxy: Listen in port 10001 failed: Address already in use
Irssi: Proxy: Listen in port 10002 failed: Address already in use
Irssi: Proxy: Listen in port 10003 failed: Address already in use
Irssi: Loaded module proxy/irc

Ouch. Logical because Client1 binds all 3 ports to itself.
When I try to connect on 10001 it goes fine (ofcource). Same with 10002.
When I try to connect to 10003 it will connect to Client1 (that ins't
connected to Net3) and I will get something like:

!Net3.proxy Not connected to server

Kinda logical aswell but bogus.
Now a solution would be to bind the proxyport to Net3 (and the others)
when I actually connect to Net3 in the client. A problem with this
approach is what is going to happen when I connect to Net3 in two
clients (but thats a problem now aswell).
Also what will happen when I disconnect from a net? Should the socket
stay connected or should we disconnect the client using the proxy (if
any)?

I hope this will help.. I find this to be a very annoying problem in
this very nice module.

Kindly regards
