Comment (by teor):

 I need to check what tor currently does if a fallback directory fails.
 The ideal behaviour is for it to stop contacting failed (fallback)
 directories, whether tor is running or not.

 But I assume it just uses the current directory code.

 {{{
 dgoulet
 do you plan to keep a "state file" of those hardcoded IPs meaning if they
 fail too many times in time period X, you note it down as invalid for Y
 days?
 or it's just, no DirAuth, I'm trying each of them non stop until one
 replies?

 teor
 I don't know what the current implementation does with respect to failed
 fallback directories
 I will make a note and check
 }}}
