Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Using Empathy 2.24.1 on Ubuntu 8.10.
When using telepathy-idle to connect to FreeNode IRC server, the default server name "irc.freenode.net" is incorrect. "irc." should be changed to "chat." at the start.

Well, I have confirmed it as the main rotation DNS is indeed chat.freenode.net. But irc.freenode.net is also used, it also appear in freenode documentation (for example: http:// freenode. net/using_ the_network. shtml). I haven't heard anything that could make me assume that "irc.freenode.net" address is going to be disabled. It definitely isn't something worth fixing in Ubuntu itself, better way would be to report it upstream.
