Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:2 Sebastian]:
 > I am not concerned about relays connecting from a wrong IP address. I
 basically feel like that shouldn't even be possible configuration-wise

 Relays can set different addresses in the Address and OutboundBindAddress
 options, and their inbound and outbound traffic will be on different
 addresses. Some operators use these options, others put their Address on a
 non-default route.

 So we do need to consider this case, particularly when relays are trying
 to discover their own IP address from an authority. But relays should fall
 back to discovering their address and getting a consensus from other
 relays, if all the authorities fail.

 So maybe it will work anyway? We should do a test to make sure.
