OK, finally got a configuration that looks like it works:

Address     209.141.39.157
OutboundBindAddress 209.141.39.157
ORPort      209.141.39.157:9001 IPv4Only
ORPort      XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:443 NoListen
ORPort      XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9001 NoListen

Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP I didn't want to be used by my Tor exit relay. (The IPv4 flag is probably useless, I just didn't think to take it out after adding the IP to the port.)

I'll see if abuse reports for my second IP will stop showing up on abuseipdb.com.

Unless you find I did something wrong, thanks for helping,

Denny
