It would be nice to prevent different IP traffic for Exit, unless
OutBoundBindAddress is defined and/or OutBoundExitAddress
(ie:https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17975) is
implemented and defined.

If someone want to do asymmetric routing, then that information must be
in the consensus (IMHO).
