Comment (by arlolra):

 Some speculation:

 TorDNSEL's conf currently looks like,
 {{{
 TestDestinationAddress 38.229.72.22:8080,8443,110,5190,6667,6697,9030
 }}}
 I wonder how many of the above relays allow exiting but just not to those
 ports or that IP? From the false negative work we've been doing on check,
 there're at least two that can only exit on 443 and will never be picked
 up. What's the best set of ports to run on? Is this going to account for
 half the exits?

 The data used in the above investigation was from the metrics project. I
 noticed the cron that collects the data runs at around 2 minutes past the
 hour but TorDNSEL is busy collecting new data for what looks like 20
 minutes. Is it getting everything in exit-addresses.new? Should probably
 rerun the tests with a file straight from TorDNSEL in production to
 confirm the above.
