A server can have multiple addresses, for example if it is
<dfn>multihomed</dfn> (connected to multiple networks) or if it can speak
both IPv4 and IPv6. Polipo will try all of a hosts addresses in turn;
once it has found one that works, it will stick to that address until
it fails again.
<p>If connecting via IPv6 there is the possibility to use temporary
source addresses to increase privacy (RFC 3041). The variable
<code>useTemporarySourceAddress</code> controls the use of temporary
addresses for outgoing connections; if set to <code>true</code>
temporary addresses are preferred, if set to <code>false</code> static addresses
are used and if set to <code>maybe</code> (the default) the operation
system default is in effect. This setting is not available
on all operation systems.
