 It would be useful if a tor relay could be configured to use a specific
 local port range for outgoing traffic, or even bind to a single port.

 This would make tor more manageable and flexible. Especially in a
 router/fw.

 Just like with have ORPort for incoming traffic we could have OROutPort
 for outgoing ports.

 Many popular torrent applications does this.

 It would allow running tor behind a stateless firewall, which is very
 useful for low end routers with high bw Internet connections.
