Comment (by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:1 iwakeh]:
 > `RdnsLookupRequest` leads to many differences between the summary and
 the details documents of two instances even when run from the same machine
 within a short period of time.  These are also the cause of most
 differences between the two main tp.o instances.

 True. We might consider running these lookups in CollecTor and providing
 results using a new data format. Onionoo would then fetch and process
 those files.
