Curious, I tried looking up the same IP in both Atlas and Globe, but neither knows of a relay at this IP. The IP of this exit is 104.156.228.115.

Multihomed exits using a different OutboundBindAddress from their Address (IPv4) or ORPort (IPv6).

The OR traffic comes in on one address, and the Exit traffic leaves on another.
