I cant agree because I dont know why it was binding. Squid only uses
bind() if there is an explicit outgoing address required to be used.

That obfuscation is fine, as long as its clear which IP is which.

Perhapse a new debug trace after applying the patch will help resolve
what the remaining problem is?
