I have StrictExitNodes = 1 and this is the exit node "wollwoll".

When I look at the Vidalia GUI the connections show:

Lifuka, india533, 5aColuna01
williamhaines, bp1, PPrivCom032
birdbrain, torserversNet4, wollwoll
Roo8Peik, tornodeviennasil, wollwoll

All checks with www.ip2location.com or www.whatismyip.com show "wollwoll" is the exit server. When I connect to any website it appears in the connections as being connected via the last entry.

What, then, is the point of entries one and two where the exit node is not the one demanded in StrictExitNodes?

Thanks.
