 I run 8 non-exit tor relays on a single highbw server with 8 IPv4/v6
 addresses.

 I see the following in my logs:

 {{{

 Every tor instance has its own IPv4/v6 address.
 torrc:
 {{{
 ORPort <IPv4>:443
 ORPort <IPv6>:443
 OutboundBindAddress <IPv4>
 OutboundBindAddress <IPv6>
 Address <IPv4>
 }}}

 Tor Version: 0.3.3.6

 Is there a bug in **OutboundBindAddress** that results in all tor
 instances to use a single IP instead of the one configure in the torrc
 files?
