New description:

 This ticket contains the final tasks that need to be integrated into the
 Ansible playbook for the managed deployment of check-01 (aka the exit
 scanner service):

 1. Run tor service for check to have up to date records
 2. Add cron job for check service to reload
 3. ~~Integrate DNS zone script into Ansible~~ done
 4. rm everything, re-deploy, check it still works
 5. Send service announcement, can consider the new DNS service functional
 at this point (best effort)
 6. Write up ops doc for deployment and disaster recovery

Comment (by irl):

 DNS zone handling is now part of exitscan.py, which is what is running as
 a systemd service for the exit scanner.
