New option DirPortFrontPage

2009-07-25 Thread downie -

Hi,
is DirPortFrontPage only available to Directory Mirror operators?
If so, what is the additional overhead of mirroring the Directory?
And finally, what is the option syntax?

Thanks,
GD

difficult to have a DirPort open otherwise :)

someone else can speak to the realworld load added better than i,
however if you're running a server behind a NAT you may have to
contend with another forwarded port and additional strain on your
connection tracking resources.


 And finally, what is the option syntax?

DirPortFrontPage FILENAME
When this option is set, it takes an HTML file and publishes it as / on
the DirPort. Now relay operators can provide a disclaimer without needing
to set up a separate webserver. There's a sample disclaimer in
contrib/tor-exit-notice.html.

best regards,
