Comment(by nickm):

 I think about 30-50 dirservers is more reasonable than 500.  I think the
 right way to pick them is to look at long-lived high-uptime caches whose
 operators we know and which have had a persistent IP for a very long time.

 For the linear search, I'm happy to move it to a loopup by digestmap if
 need be, but I don't see anywhere that we call it in the critical path.
 If that's so, I'd prefer to wait until we see a profile: I'll bet you an
 imaginary cookie that it doesn't show up in a profile.
