What is cloaking
Cloaking is a means to hide the real host from other users, for resolvable hostnames it looks a like Gll-20409F99.example.net, and IP's will look like 9DD2051.356EF559.713C47B6.IP. You get a cloaked host by the usermode +x (this can be manually set, or automatically by the server). For more general information on cloaking, see the section on cloaking in the docs.
