interesting cached-status/1A0999C05AE2B9A3CF474077F06060E91B3A847 file



     This cached-status file begins with:

dir-source s15192785 212.227.86.59 9030
fingerprint 1A0999C05AE2B9A3CF474077F06060E91B3A847B

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?
