 For security reasons, directory authorities only use addresses that are
 explicitly configured in their torrc. Since local interface addresses are
 implicit, and may depend on DHCP, directory authorities do not use this
 address resolution method (or any of the other, lower-priority address
 resolution methods).

 See proposal 312, section 3.2.3, directory authority case:
