What I would like to do is forward the request to one of the boxes

other boxes to connect.
Perhaps an easier solution than a patch of the IRC helper driver to
handle auth requests: run midentd on your firewall machine.

Haven't tried it, myself. You would need to ACCEPT auth at the firewall
(INPUT chain). Probably the only way around that is the aforementioned
patch.
Thanks for the response; I agree that midentd appears to fit the bill.
However, I must admit that I'm surprised that a patch for this doesn't
exist - I wish had a the knowledge to do it...
