Those who don't search the or-talk archives are condemned to repeat
them.  :)

Check out the march 2005 archive at
   http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/threads.html
and the thread called "exit node only server."

In particular, I talk a bit about why you don't really mean
tit-for-tat, and why it's hard, and why you might want to do it anyway
in   http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00031.html
and  http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00030.html

Paul Syverson offers an important reference at
     http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2005/msg00032.html

And be sure to check out the rest of the thread too!

Hope this is interesting,
