This should be clarified in the Tor manual [1] too!

"Tor will contact the authority at ipv4address to download directory
documents. The provided port value is a dirport; clients ignore this in
favor of the specified "orport=" value. If an IPv6 ORPort is supplied,
Tor will also download directory documents at the IPv6 ORPort."

Am I right that for fallback directory mirrors DirPort is needed but
ignored by clients? Possibly this explains why I lost the fallback
directory flag since I have removed the DirPort in torrc …
