I used yast to configure the hostname for my public ip address. one of
the entries is:

127.0.0.1 localhost

now I created another with my public ip address (the same as /whois
gives back), mydomain.tdl as Host Name and also mydomain.tdl as host
alias.

Is that correct?

Now I started irssi by using the following command:

irssi --hostname=mydomain.tdl --nick=herr_schnegg --connect=myircserver

but /whois nevertheless gives back my public ip.
