<div>Hi<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm running a new non-exit relay on my server which has a shared address, and I often see the following message in my log file:<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Your relay has a very large number of connections to other relays. Is your outbound address the same as your relay address?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Do I have to worry about that? If the answer is yes, what should I do?<br /></div></blockquote></div>
