The prefix doesn't involve the server. The prefix that's prepended to your messages when another server passes them on to a client is ":nick!user@host " and is the same for all messages that you originate.

(On Freenode and other networks with a similar service, your hostname can be changed by services, but the client is notified of this and can update its knowledge about the prefix).

D'oh, you're right! I looked at a non message command to refresh my memory.
