 On more thought, I think it may be a bad idea. If DNS resolves were
 authenticated in some bulletproof way, it might be better. But they're
 not, and I can imagine an exit relay that hands back an IP address of a
 stream it wants you to mingle this new stream with. Best to leave Tor's
 internal remapping out of the picture and just use the addresses that the
 applications hand to Tor.
