Comment (by nickm):

 TracExitHosts is not supposed to make every destination use the same
 website: it is supposed to make it so that every time you go to the _same_
 destination, you get the _same_ website.

 For your example, I would expect every visit to duckduckgo to use some
 exit A, and every visit to nasa.gov to use some exit B, but I wouldn't
 expect "A" and "B" to be the same exit.

 Is this something that the documentation should be more clear about?
