 Tor's DirAuthority entry says:
            Tor will contact the authority at address:port (the DirPort) to
            download directory documents. If an IPv6 address is supplied,
 Tor
            will also download directory documents at the IPv6 address on
 the
            DirPort.

 But no Tor instance uses the IPv6 DirPort:
 * clients (>= 0.2.8) use the IPv4 ORPort,
 * clients (< 0.2.8) and relays use the IPv4 DirPort.
