irssi can use any non-rfc1918 (that is 192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x,
10.x.x.x, etc) ip that is configured on your machine, and it will use
the reverse configured for that ip address.

see the -h parameter to irssi, and/or see the /help for /connect,
/server and /network.

if the ip address you'd like to use is not configured on the machine you
are running irssi on, you can't make irssi use that hostname, as this is
not controlled by irssi, but by the irc servers, which reverse the IP
address the connection is comming from.

That would be because your dedicated server has another IP address and
another reverse than your desktop pc at home.
