-----------------------------+--------------------
Many people use Tor to proxify their non-Tor software such as Bitcoin,
BitMessage. And some of them are using SOCKS4.
torrc:
DNSPort X
SocksPort Y
1. User's software query DNS via DNSPort: www.example.com
2. Tor will create a path to www.example.com:0 to resolve its IP
3. Tor return www.example.com is 1.2.3.4
4. User's software connect to www.example.com via SocksPort, using Socks4.
Expected:
In step 4, Tor will use step 2's path to connect www.example.com because
Tor know www.example.com may be 1.2.3.4.
Actual:
In step 4, Tor create a new path to connect to www.example.com, thus
www.example.com's server admin will see 2 incoming connection;
1) DNS request from (step2's exit ip)
2) WWW request from (step4's exit ip)
