A possible problem then arises when the served page contains absolute URLs for resources, links etc which no longer use the .exit notation, and so could be fetched from a different exit. How often that would happen is open to question. Another Privoxy rule could be written to rewrite those page URLs I guess, but how would you pass the name of the required exit to the rule?
