[tor-relays] Questions about exit enclaves

It's my understanding that if you put the following Exit Policy in your torrc:

ExitPolicyRejectPrivate 0
ExitPolicy accept 97.107.139.108
ExitPolicy reject *:*

Where 97.107.139.108 is your IP address (that one's mine), you will
Exit Enclave to your site, not allow any other exit traffic, you will
be a normal tor relay (meaning you should check your bandwidth
limits/accounting), and you will become the preferred path for Tor
traffic to your site.

Hidden Services are different from Exit Enclaving.  I would be
surprised if there was any danger to be added by running a Hidden
Service on an Exit Enclave, and if so, that should be documented
better.

If anything I said is incorrect, I hope that someone will correct me
in detail, and review the changes I'd like to make to the
documentation - because if I misunderstood, I think the Docs need
clarifying.

However, I have found little documentation on how to accomplish this on a remote server, e.g. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ExitEnclave . Is there a more throughout document/manual for exit enclaves?

If so, is it possible to block exit to any IP other than the node's own IP via torrc file? If not, maybe I could only allow exists to white-list IPs, such as Tor Project web site IP, EFF IP, and etc?

I looked at the Tor web site but I didn't find information. I am thinking about using that software as the exit enclave.
