hidden services questions

[Scott Bennett <bennett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     What happens if someone offers a hidden service (i.e., same .onion
address, same keys, etc.) on more than one computer, perhaps in different
locations?  How do HSDir servers handle such a situation?  Does the most
recently published hidden service descriptor supplant earlier descriptors
even if it comes from a different source?  Can HSDir servers even recognize
a [possible] problem?
