On second thought, this is not fully correct. You will in theory get slightly more load than if you were just a Guard/Middle node. Since we do not currently balance among different exit port classes, you might still get less load than a full-on Exit when Exits are scarce, because 80 might not carry that much traffic in terms of bytes as other ports. Not an easy question to answer in either case. Having good answers to these questions might help us refine our load balancing algoriths further. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
