Comment:
I think this is the kind of thing that would best be done with explicit
configuration or application-level hinting as suggested in proposal 229.
Or maybe we could tweak the behavior of one of the really fine-grained
circuit isolation modes so that eg use of the same socks username/password
could count as instructions to
But I don't think we would want to have a general rule saying "always use
the same circuit for a given IP if you already have a connection that's
using that IP." It seems there's probably some way to exploit that to
track clients across websites when you otherwise wouldn't be able to.
In any case, there's no reason not to look for a better way to do this.
So, reopening and assigning the unspecified milestone.
