Hi Tim,
TNX for your fast response. That was more or less what I thought already.

Please don't run a second relay on the same fingerprint.
Your relay won't get much traffic, because it will look like
its address and ports are changing all the time.

Instead, run two relays with different keys, and let the
network load-balance between them.
