Is it possible to supply a method for customizing the hostname the client is connecting from? If not, how are hostnames managed, and how would one go about modifying them?

Things I've seen from other clients...

those would be virtual hostmasks, which are assigned by IRC network staff typically. check documentation for $network regarding hostmasks, cloaks, etc.

now, if you have multiple IP addresses and can set RDNS, this PR would be useful, but you have to have control over RDNS which is fairly rare. #146

You need PTR records set up for the IP you are bound to. You can specify them in my fork - see #146
