So what's the effect of REND_HID_SERV_DIR_REQUERY_PERIOD?

Hello, Michael!

This looks like a possible bug to me. Could you open a ticket at trac.torproject.org?

Hi Nick,

Robert Ransom replied off-list explaining the intent of this code. For the sake of the list archives: the constant prevents repeated successful queries to the same HSDir, and repeated unsuccessful queries during a single connection attempt. The rationale for not also using it to limit unsuccessful queries during distinct connection attempts is given in ticket 3335.

Cheers, Michael
