I use multiple ports for multiple servers and whenever I get a

Unable to resolve server
mIRC reverts back to its default port setting. I know how to change this, but its a not relevant to me as I use different ports on almost all different servers. ( I use multiple ports due to a DCC attack my router is vulnerable to on port 6667. Yeah, I know how to fix it, just too lazy. )

Below is part of my perform script ( full script can be seen here http://pastebin.com/hqee1E6S )

server irc.enterthegame.com 5555
server -m irc.freenode.net 8001
server -m irc.cyanide-x.net 6667
server -m irc.globalgamers.net 6668
server -m irc.gamesurge.net 6668
server -m irc.7-indonesia.org 6666


Yes, I know this also happens in mIRC 6.35

Basically I am asking for a option to use the first port you tried to connect with on that server, and if it was successful, make the default port for that server whenever you try to reconnect.

You can control the set of ports that mIRC uses for a server by specifying them in that server's entry in the servers list.

If "irc.mirc.com" is not in my servers list and I try /server irc.mirc.com 1234, the connection fails with "Unable to resolve server", and the next attempt continues to use the same port.

If I add the server "irc.mirc.com" to my servers list with ports 1,2,3,4,5, and then try to connect to it, mIRC will always rotate between those ports.
