The above lines are then followed by the usual "r" and "s" lines, but oddly
enough, no "opt" lines. Usually I see three lines (one of each of the above)
for each router.
However, looking for that IP address (212.227.86.59) in this section, I
find not "s15192785", but "abutor":
r abutor GgmZwFriuaPPR0B38GBg6Rs6hHs 4Oj8zvA0SAIoRuEI2y9MsGYsBk4 2008-03-28 21:07:43 212.227.86.59 9001 9030
s Authority Fast Stable Running Valid V2Dir
Notice the "Authority" flag in the "r" line above. This flag does not appear
for this router in any of the other four cached-status files.
So how do I block this bogus cached-status file and its illegitimate
"Authority" flag for a screwed up router with bad contact information?
