If your IRC server is connect to vert and is up for a while, it'll become part of the rotating irc.synchro.net resolution. When that happens, any client that connects to irc.synchro.net might connect to *your* server.

Or, some one found your irc server by port-scanning or maybe a BBS listing.

Enabling debug-level logging will give you better insight into what that client is doing, but no, I wouldn't be concerned.
