server incorrectly believes IP address has changed
I restarted my tor server a couple of hours ago, and since then, it has
been acting very peculiarly. Here are the notice-level log file entries since
startup. Note that I deleted cached-descriptors and cached-descriptors.new
after shutting down tor and before shutting down the system several hours prior
to this startup.
Nov 20 06:29:05.896 [notice] Tor 0.2.0.12-alpha (r12518) opening log file.

still is, 66.225.42.30. It has not changed since before the system was
rebooted.

Nov 20 08:20:49.474 [warn] Your server (66.225.36.5:443) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls, ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc.
Note that it has reported using the wrong address again. The address
shown is the one that was in use before the system was shut down several hours
earlier. (I use the free service of dyndns.org to yield the current IP address
for the host+domain name coded in the torrc file.)
I'm going to shut tor down and restart it, but it would be really nice to
know what went wrong and how to avoid it in the future.
