But remember that Tor servers have exit policies, so there's more to it than saying "you're an exit node" or "you're not an exit node". For example, some Tor servers might have an exit policy that rejects everything but connections to their own IP address. Then they can be used in the way you describe (as a private enclave server, essentially), but they won't connect to arbitrary destinations. --Roger
