Why would any IP address need more than one (or several simultaneous) connection is beyond me.

See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9969 for one case.

I wonder if these are clients running Tor versions from back before we did directory fetches tunnelled over the ORPort -- clients from that long ago would launch quite a few requests to the DirPort of various relays, and since we disabled the v2 directory status documents, maybe there's a bug where they keep asking if they don't have anything they like.
