Comment(by mikeperry):

 Instead of relocation, a lighter-weight alternative that should be easier
 to deploy in an emergency is to create a clique firewall topology, so the
 dirauths can only talk to each other and a set of high-bandwidth, high-
 uptime dir mirrors.

 This might be easier to deploy as an emergency response. However, without
 at least one of the dirauths being publicly reachable, we'd still have no
 way to bootstrap new clients without shipping them with some kind of
 cached consensus.
