Comment (by arlolra):

 > We would like to reuse Check as that seems to be quite maintainable as
 it is

 Here's an old post,
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/metrics-
 team/2018-January/000638.html

 > Instead, could it periodically fetch the latest list from a web server?

 It probably just means changing this routine,
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/check.git/tree/scripts/exitips.py#n69

 or, equally, writing a cron job to save the files to the local filesystem
 in the expected location.
