 https://check.torproject.org/cgi-
 bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=69.55.226.35&port=80
 gives me a pile of ipv4 addresses. I think it parses
 https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses
 plus maybe descriptors or consensuses to get exit policies.

 But tordnsel was written back when IPv6 was not a thing. So that means
 every step of our pathway is missing the concept of IPv6.

 I guess the most urgent part to fix, which ties into metrics, is that we
 aren't collecting the ipv6 exit addresses of relays, which means we won't
 be able to look back in time and answer questions that have to do with
 ipv6 connections out of Tor.
