 The current prop171 branch takes a simplistic view of isolating streams by
 destination address, and treats any two addresses as equal only if they
 equal in a case-insensitive string comparison.  But if address A has
 resolved to IP B, then perhaps we don't want to isolate future requests
 for A and B onto separate circuits.

 There may also be other circumstances like this, such as where hostname A
 and hostname B are both known to resolve to IP C.
