Comment(by mikeperry): Ok, I reviewed this, but a couple more comments/questions: 1. Making the dirauths also fallback dir mirrors might complicate with how we want to handle #4483. I think we want to be able to say "attempt to get the consensus from D dirauths and M fallback mirrors" somehow. See comment 5 there for details. It looks like we can still the inspect dir_server_t is_authority flag to get this done, but that might be a reason for keeping them in fully disjoint lists instead? Or maybe not, since it's not the common case... 2. Can you add an example fallback dirserver line in the comments for add_default_fallback_dir_servers()? It looks like a subset of the dirauth line syntax is acceptable, but an example would be great. Note: I don't know enough about directory activity to properly evaluate the correct use of the fallback dir servers vs dirauths in all cases, so perhaps my review doesn't count as exhaustive. But I can also test both this and #4483 with some firewall rules to block access to all of the dirauths once both are ready. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/572#comment:28> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
