It's time to upgrade.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_daemons has a list of possibilities. Record observations relevant to us here.
1. Our criteria
1.1. Must
- Linux and OpenBSD
- binding to configured address(es)
- binding to configured port(s)
- be packaged for Debian
- support our desired topology
- probably every server being able to connect to every other server
- either 3 or 4 servers
- open source
- evidence of being actively maintained
- stable
- SSL (linking)
1.2. Desirable
- SSL (clients)
- some kind of services infrastructure
- configuration but relatively flexible
- not too memory intensive (unlikely to be an issue with our load)
- IPv6 (reason to use hedgehog)
