Thanks for the heads up. I will update maatuska's IP allowlist containing directory authorities and the checker. Until then, expect to be rate limited.

I now have my new hardware in place for moria1's future home. The eventual plan is to shift most of the old IP addresses over to this new hardware, and long term nothing will be different (except it will be more reliable etc).
But it currently has a different IP address than it will have later, and I'm taking this opportunity to mess about with running my directory authority on the "wrong" IP address.
In theory, this should 'just work' in the sense that I still make votes and signatures, and I upload them to you all, and this proves the concept that a dir auth can escape somewhere else if it's getting too hammered and still publish votes and sigs.
In theory but it's a stretch, it should get into the consensus at the new address and then you all will start making requests to that new address like it's totally normal. We will see. :)
In any case, expect some bizarre log messages about me, and/or some complaints by consensus-health, soon.
Woo, --Roger
