Parallel TOR?


Is there any way (speaking in a Gnu/Linux context) to do parallel TOR? I mean (speaking from a client perspective): instead of creating one route, and forcing all the TCP connections of your system through that narrow pipe, to instead maintain several TOR routes simultaneously and distribute TCP connections among them?

I haven't been able to find anything in TOR(1) about this question.

If you run a Tor relay node, you will have, multiple, simultaneous connections to Tor on an almost continual basis. You don't have to be an exit node for this to work. Then does the Tor connection to w.x.y.z:443 belong to your traffic or someone else via the inbound connection?
