If the problem right now is just IP blocking you can try the tor option HttpProxy which will route your dirserver traffic through an http proxy you specify. Unfortunately, certain areas have begun blocking by the /tor/ url postfix that dirservers use, independent of IP. There is an option in 1.2.x/SVN to tunnel this traffic via other tor nodes (via SSL), but I believe it is prone to exploding at this point in time. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
