Comment:

 alecmuffett does something similar to this in his hidden service setup, by
 making the *remote* side (web server) listen on a custom local subnet
 address, and then having Tor connect to that address. This workaround
 should not need any changes to Tor, or any iptables rules:

 https://github.com/alecmuffett/the-onion-diaries/blob/master/basic-
 production-onion-server.md

 This patch needs revision, because we added OutboundBindAddressExit and OR
 since it was created.
 If you'd like, we can take a look at this in 0.3.4 (the code freeze for
 0.3.3 is only a few weeks away).

 I can't see any need for a unit test, I'm not sure we have any for the
 other OutboundBindAddress options.
 If we do, it should be a parse test, not a bind test.
