Comment(by Sebastian):

 Replying to [comment:4 nickm]:
 > Hm.  My first thought here would be, could authorities just have a
 second dirport that's only used for uploading stuff?

 The only real issue here is communication with the other directory
 authorities when it comes to voting, having your own port for that and
 making sure traffic for that is always of higher priority than anything
 else seems like it could solve this quite handily
