Comment(by mikeperry):
Again: How does this plan DoS arbitrary hosts? Can't we mitigate that
using the mechanisms I suggested in comment 1?
I can see that rechability testing creates network activity, but the
dirauths already do that. Perhaps the dir mirrors can just use the same
rate limiting mechanisms the dirauths already use today, as I describe in
comment 1?
I also don't understand why you suddenly believe that the ability to
protect the dirauths from unneeded load is not desirable? What happened to
the Sebastian who created #3023? Do you now believe that dirauths should
remain public relays and accept and relay all load that comes at them?
