        DirPort [address:]PORT|auto [flags]
            If this option is nonzero, advertise the directory service on
 this port. Set it to "auto" to have Tor pick a port for you. This option
 **can** occur more
            than once. (Default: 0)

                The same flags are supported here as are supported by
 ORPort.

 The man page claims it is OK to have multiple DirPort instances, much like
 ORPort but for DirPort, this is incorrect. Sadly, the reload lead to my
 relay abruptly cutting out and needing a full start up again (wasn't just
 a warning).
