Comment(by nickm):

 From the patch:
 {{{
 +    Like OutboundBindAddress, but _only_ for connections to loopback
 +    addresses (e.g., inbound connections to local hidden services).
 +    This is useful to distinguish Tor traffic from local traffic in
 +    the log files of your hidden services. +
 + +
 +    The IP should be in the 127.0.0.0/8 range for maximum compatibility.
 +    I recommend using 127.84.111.114, since 84.111.114 is the ASCII
 +    encoding of "Tor".  I also recommend adding \'127.84.111.114 tor' to
 +    your /etc/hosts file.
 +
 }}}

 this is for)
