setting up Tor network in local LAN or a single host



I am trying to set up Tor network in my local LAN and in my machine (all are linux machines), but I kept on getting errors. For version tor-0.1.1.8-alpha, the main error I got is "503 Directory unavailable". I read through the tor-spec.txt and dir-spec.txt and it looks like the directory should not be unavailable. Can anyone tell me how I should fix this? Below is the log and torrc file for one of the directory server node. I also tried out version tor-0.1.1.6-alpha, and got the same error as Kathy Simm did, as described in the threat 'tor servers on local lan".

Thanks.
John

the notice log for one of the directory server node is:
