 Hi,

 I'm running a small node for years. Few months ago a started using auto-
 mapping hosts to virtual IP. Tor often returns real IP address instead of
 virtual one. For example:

 root at host:~# host www.torproject.org
 www.torproject.org has address 38.229.72.14
 www.torproject.org has address 38.229.72.14
 Host www.torproject.org not found: 4(NOTIMP)

 I have to send HUP signal to the running process to return to normal
 behavior:

 root at host:~# host www.torproject.org
 www.torproject.org has address 10.230.198.145
 www.torproject.org has address 10.230.198.145
 Host www.torproject.org not found: 4(NOTIMP)

 But after several hours or minutes tor begin returning real addresses
 again, after sending SIGHUP it's OK or several hours/minutes.

 Currently i'm running tor 0.2.4.23 (git-598c61362f1b3d3e).

 I created crontab entry, it sends SIGHUP every hour, but it's not enough.

 See attached config file.

 Best regards
