Comment (by arma):

 My {{{ticket33018-dirauth-503}}} branch resumes being willing to send 503
 responses to dir requests, even for dir auths, but it avoids sending a 503
 when the requesting IP address is itself a dir auth.

 I'm running it on moria1 now, and I tested it with log_notice lines to
 make sure it correctly recognizes requests from other dir auths.

 I don't actually intend this patch to be merged into mainline Tor -- it is
 instead a demo hack of one way forward here.
