[tor-relays] Need advice on IPv6 bridge config

[Steve Snyder]

This seems to work.  The view from Vidalia's Message Log:

[Notice] Learned fingerprint 24432B99CA2533BC95ABF66C7AFE835F96DD2B2D 
for bridge 2a00:1d70:ed15:37:235:53:64:0:443
[Notice] no known bridge descriptors running yet; stalling
[Notice] Bridge 'Unnamed' has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.  Will 
prefer using its IPv6 address (2a00:1d70:ed15:37:235:53:64:0:443).
[Notice] new bridge descriptor 'Unnamed' (fresh): 
$24432B99CA2533BC95ABF66C7AFE835F96DD2B2D~Unnamed at aa.bb.cc.dd
[Notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
[Notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client 
functionality is working.

This is a snippet of my Tor config file:

Address [2a00:1d70:ed15:37:235:53:64:0]
OutboundBindAddress aa.bb.cc.dd
ORPort [2a00:1d70:ed15:37:235:53:64:0]:443
ORPort [aa.bb.cc.dd]:443

Note #1: I'm specifying the IPv4 address explicitly because my server 
has 2 network interfaces.

Note #2: I am using the IPv4  address for OutboundBindAddress because 
this config option seems not to understand IPv6 addresses.

Thanks for the advice.
