I found another relay [2] where at least 4 of the 9 authorities doesn't set the "Running" flag, which is needed for "Guard", right?
Correct, I believe we don't vote the Guard flag if we are not voting the Running flag: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n2598 I think that is because of the definition of 'active'.

At the moment, 6/9 authorities can't reach this relay. Same possibilities.
moria1 can reach this relay, but earlier today, and also at this moment, dizum is being listed as unable to reach the relay. But I checked with dizum's operator earlier today and he could reach that IP:orport via telnet.
So my current thought is intermittent overload, or perhaps some sort of "rate limiting via iptables" firewall. (It doesn't look like ipv6 reachability questions should apply here, because I think this relay isn't offering ipv6.)
