Hmm, and you might want this one with the bridge flag:
DirAuthority [nickname] [flags] address:port fingerprint
Use a nonstandard authoritative directory server at the provided
address and port, with the specified key fingerprint. This option
can be repeated many times, for multiple authoritative directory
servers. Flags are separated by spaces, and determine what kind of
an authority this directory is. By default, an authority is not
authoritative for any directory style or version unless an
appropriate flag is given. Tor will use this authority as a bridge
authoritative directory if the "bridge" flag is set. If a flag
"orport=port" is given, Tor will use the given port when opening
encrypted tunnels to the dirserver. If a flag "weight=num" is
given, then the directory server is chosen randomly with
probability proportional to that weight (default 1.0). Lastly, if a
flag "v3ident=fp" is given, the dirserver is a v3 directory
authority whose v3 long-term signing key has the fingerprint fp.
If no DirAuthority line is given, Tor will use the default
directory authorities. NOTE: this option is intended for setting up
a private Tor network with its own directory authorities. If you
use it, you will be distinguishable from other users, because you
won't believe the same authorities they do.
