Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
 > Hm. Clients don't actually make connections to DirPort, do they?  They
 should just be connecting to the ORPort and making a tunneled connection.

 Most of the time they use a tunneled ORPort connection, but if they:
 * don't know an ORPort for a relay,
 * are firewalled from the relay's ORPort, or
 * they FetchDirInfoEarly,
 then they fetch directly from the DirPort.
 (See directory_command_should_use_begindir.)
