 Multithreading support may improve our ability to support high-throughput
 multicore tor nodes, but it is not the whole story. To avoid TCP source
 port exhaustion on high capacity relays, we will need the ability to
 support multiple interfaces for outgoing exit connections.

 To minimize stupid website breakage, we probably want to keep every
 connection from the same circuit on the same interface, but round robin
 circuits across different outgoing interfaces.
