how did my OP discover this IP address?



I've been reading my OP's log file sorting through the various outbound connections that it makes into the Tor network. I came across the following directory fetch request:

connection_connect(): Connecting to "72.1.218.225":9030

What has me a little puzzled is that I can't find this IP address anyplace in my OP's cached directory information. Also, looking at the torstats web page (https://torstat.xenobite.eu), I don't find it listed there either.

I think maybe this was the IP address of the router hevad99, which is now listed with the IP 72.1.218.238. If this host has a dhcp connection then that might explain things.

Is it the case that hevad99's IP address changed during my (1 hour) Tor session?
