Hi
multi-instance tor relay
Can you please describe what that is? Is it a server with multiple relays, each with it's own fingerprint? Or is it a relay with one fingerprint and with multiple tor daemons that are synced by some magic?
Seeing how the git repo mentions MyFamily management, I believe it's just #1 in this case.
I remember reading someone describe their setup of #2, with a TCP load balancer in front of multiple Tor instances all using the same fingerprint. Outright my reaction was that this is fundamentally broken and cannot work, but apparently it does. Still, IMO that's easy to get wrong and unknowingly degrade the network quality for Tor users.
