Matter of fact I did, but the amount of hosts is increasing. I'm currently 
assuming, that there some sort race going on. Seems like one or more groups 
trying to "expand" their bot nets.

Why bot nets? Well, on most of the systems I checked I found that the IRC 
ports are open or on other ports some IRC alike service is running.

bots as part of botnets don't generally setup IRC servers on their
hosts. They instead connect to an existing IRC server and join a meeting
point channel to be controlled, with single commands. Slightly hard to
control them if they all live on separate servers and you have to
connect to each individually.
