We use a IRC bouncer for this; It works really well to preserve history, and let me get messages when I'm offline.

when I disconnect, it automatically sets me /away, and renames my nick to e1ven_zz to make it clear to the rest of the team I'm away.. When I log back in, it renames me back to e1ven, and streams everything I missed.
