  In my past experience with setting up several relays, both exit and
non exit, it takes awhile, especially with a new relay for it to be
recognized by the other servers on the list. You should notice an
increase gradually in several days, providing you have everything set
up properly.

One thing I have noticed in the past is making sure the firewall is
set up so TOR can be accessed.  That will cause you a slow down. Being
that you are a former TOR server, I would just wait it out and give it
several days for the others to know your out there and will get used
to accessing you.

I am a little concerned tho about the DNS hijackings, which is not
good. This may or may not also be interfering with the server working
properly. Might consider looking at changing to a different DNS server
or changing IP providers.  With that being said, maybe someone with
more experience can give you some ideas on how to go about and
correcting the possible DNS issues.

Welcome back as a TOR relay.
