#5948: BridgeDB should respond with the same address:port to each request

Component:  BridgeDB  |        Version:

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 When a Bridge has multiple listening addresses/ports, a valid bridge line
 is selected and returned to the client. No effort is made to make sure
 that the same address:port is returned for each request. This is a design
 flaw, as a single client could expose all listening addresses and ports of
 a given bridge.

 BridgeDB should respond with the same address:port per bridge for repeat
 requests.

 This can be implemented in a pretty straightforward way, by mapping the
 requesting {ip, email} to one of the address lines and one valid port.
