My question is, if you NEVER requested the 1 web page in the first
place, would you have experienced the same attack? I mean if I were
looking for new live Tor services I would probably periodically just
roll through unknown IPs and check for a live node (or something) as
one layer of attack. No live node, move on. Live node not already
discovered? The fact that the node responds (in some manner I'm
looking for) is enough information, it's possible I don't even care
that it has anything to do with Tor.
Just a thought, it should be clear I have no idea what I'm talking
about. e.g. I don't know what your middleman server not getting
attacked indicates.

Now bearing in mind that I had only EVER requested 1 web page (a
blank test page - requested about 4 times) from my own Torrified web
browser (out and back so to speak), and no OTHER (external)
