[metrics-team] Need record cleared or altered for t6kexit1

[t6kexit1]

Sure, let me lay out the IPs and RDNSs here:

So previously I was using the IP 73.95.69.17 which RDNs'd to c-73-95-69-17.hsd1.co.comcast.net. That host name is valid and resolves back to the same IP.

Recently i switched to 70.39.93.111 which RDNs to mta31.canond550.com, which does not resolve to anything.

So my theory here, is that since i switched IPs, the RDNs verifier is rejecting the new RDNs because it doesnt resolve. This is causing my old host_name RDNs to be "stuck" on my relay listing (on metrics.torproject.org) because it cant find any new valid RDNs.

Thats my theory anyways. I looked around at onionoo a bit and that was the best explanation I could come up with.

Thanks!
