I just found out that you have to load the ip_nat_irc kernel module on the firewall in order for outgoing IRC DCC transfers to work. The ip_conntrack_irc module, as inviting as it looks, doesn't work by itself.

Is it just me or netfilter kernel modules really don't have any official documentation? My Google searches for ip_conntrack_irc resulted only in numerous more or less informative and more or less up to date mailing list and forum posts. The best source of information I have found so far are the comments in the code itself.
