My relay seems to gain and lose the stable flag every day for the last several days. It's been up more than a week. Is this normal? I don't recall seeing this on a previous hosting provider and I suspect there is something going on with the network.
Go to https://metrics.torproject.org/relay-search.html and put in your fingerprint and day (e.g. 2011-07-22) and see if your relay is missing from any of the consensus stanzas for the day. If you aren't listed every hour, that means a majority of the directory authorities didn't think you were reachable then.
(If you *are* listed every hour, you might still be going down for a little while, which would be enough to be noted as a failure by the directory authorities.)
