IRCD.conf is pretty rough. : )

I'm sure there's easy ones out there though.

Yeah ircd.conf is a royal pain in the butt. There are several helpsites and howto's though. Search google for ircd.

Depends on the IRCD you choose....

Not all the IRCD's have the same conf setup... I personally like the lined setup...

But now that Unreal IRCD has gone with the new conf setup, I've gotten used to it...

Once you do it enough it becomes easy...

You could always use a java applet on your site that connects to a different server. So the only bw used is to download the little java applet.
