 Replying to [comment:3 mikeperry]:
 > FYI: Because of massive amounts of legacy badcode fail, I have begun
 restricting dirport requests to only the directory authorities. I am
 willing to whitelist legitimate legacy services by IP. Adding myself to Cc
 in case this actually matters for anyone who cares.

 Wait, what? Almost all relays use your dirport to ask you for the
 consensus or descriptors that you tell them about. That's what your
 dirport is for.
