Comment:
gman999 thought about setting up two bridge authorities behind a single,
virtual IP address. This will make our bridge authority more resistant to
hardware failure because if one goes down, there's still the other one
that continues operations.
Once set up, both bridge authorities would then separately sync their
bridge descriptors to BridgeDB, which expects a single directory of
bridge descriptors, so we will either have to 1) teach BridgeDB (and Tor
Metrics) how to handle >1 directory of bridge descriptors, or 2) write a
tool that takes as input an arbitrary number of directories containing
bridge descriptors and then produce as output a combined "view" of these
descriptors. We agreed to first take a look at a tool that can combine
"views" because it would simplify our processing pipeline and it may be
easy to do with Stem.
