The hostname for one of the IRC server I connect to has an AAAA record but IRCd does not listen on ipv6. Since connecting to the hostname prefers ipv6 over ipv4, it just times out trying to connect to it.

For a temporary fix, I just connect to the ipv4 IP address directly.

Although it's the IRC server's fault for having an AAAA record (which I reported to them), having an option to forcefully connect via ipv4 would be great.

Set BindHost to either 0.0.0.0 or your real IPv4 address instead

The hostname for one of the IRC server I connect to has an AAAA record but
IRCd does not listen on ipv6. Since connecting to the hostname prefers ipv6
over ipv4, it just times out trying to connect to it.
