Hi Pascal,
(OpenBSD tor package maintainer)

(splitting this part off to tor-dev, since it is not suited well for
tor-relays I guess)

For the interested reader this discussion started here [1].

I guess this (forking one tor instance per ORPort line) sounds a lot
simpler than it actually would be. How do you handle ControlPort, HS,
DataDir, ExitPolicy and basically any other config option, ...

but since I need a solution in the near future I'll probably just go
with multiple services on OpenBSD.

thanks,
Nusenu
