 Hi, I have a server running with 3 IP addresses, say A, B, C, on the same
 virtual adapter.

 By default, all outbound connections are from IP A. I want Tor to be bound
 only to B, so I set the following directives:

   !OutboundBindAddress B!DirListenAddress BORListenAddress B

 The problem is that I get the following log entries, both for ORPort and
 DirPort

   Aug 14 !01:36:04.409 [warn] Your server ('''A''':9030) has not managed
 to confirm that its !DirPort is reachable. Please check your firewalls,
 ports, address, /etc/hosts file, etc.

 netstat correctly shows

   #netstat -oanp | grep tortcp        0      0 !B:9030       0.0.0.0:*
 LISTEN      2567/tor            off (0.00/0/0)tcp        0      0 !B:9001
 0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2567/tor            off (0.00/0/0)tcp
 0      0 !127.0.0.1:9100          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
 2567/tor            off (0.00/0/0)

 Other TCP entries correctly show that local endpoint is B

 I believe it's a bug. I don't know Tor code but I believe that the code
 portion that ultimately logs the warning doesn't consider
 !OutboundBindAddress when testing reachability. Disabling
 OutboundBindAddress and using A in other directives work fine.
