A new DFRI7 will appear on the same address and port within a couple of days. Should I simply update fallback_dirs.inc?
No need to do anything right away!
Will it be bad to have a new relay (with a new key), on the same IP:port as what many clients think is an existing fallback relay?
The new relay won't be eligible for the list until it's been up for at least a month. And it will take time to build up bandwidth weight.
Since DFRI has a few eligible relays, we will probably choose different ones in the next list.
I can imagine clients getting warnings in their logs, about how they're getting an unexpected fingerprint while attempting to connect.
Since 0.2.8.5-rc, Tor logs an info-level message saying that we'll try another fallback: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18812#comment:8
