hidden services resolve hosts only once

I have a hidden service, configured with HiddenServicePort 6666 irc.oftc.net:6666

Now irc.oftc.net is a rotation that changes quite frequently and for that reason the TTL of the A records it returns is only 60.

The problem is that Tor resolves the hostname only once, when it configures the hidden service, not everytime a user establishes a new connection. This causes problems since by the time a client request comes the information Tor has often is long obsolete.

Please resolve it on connects, and don't cache it in a broken way (caching it for TTL is fine).

Thanks
