New description:

 I have a hidden service, configured with
 HiddenServicePort 6666 irc.oftc.net:6666

 Now irc.oftc.net is a rotation that changes quite frequently and for that
 reason the TTL of the A records it returns is only 60.

 The problem is that Tor resolves the hostname only once, when it
 configures
 the hidden service, not everytime a user establishes a new connection.
 This
 causes problems since by the time a client request comes the information
 Tor
 has often is long obsolete.

 Please resolve it on connects, and don't cache it in a broken way (caching
 it
 for TTL is fine).

 Thanks
