In this case i would run midentd on the socks-server, a ident-daemon
with masq support(IPadress based).
Depending on what IP the client sits on, behind the socks-server, it will give
the IRC-daemon the correct *!USER@, i.e ident reply.
say the client sits on a non-routeable network such as 192.168.1.0/24 and the
IP is 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11.
the midentd.conf would look like this:
192.168.1.10 UNIX john
192.168.1.11 UNIX mike
...
hope this helps.
