Two handles with different local ports are pipelined over the same
connection. The local ports aren't considered in this case (at least
when the connection is already established). In case no connection
exists yet on a multi handle (pipelined) then a connection is
established bound to the local port of the first easy handle being
processed.

My first thought: Maybe that would be a solution to the behaviour with
the local ports above? All handles with the same local ports are
pipelined over the same conection / pipe. In case no connection for a
local port exists, another pipe is with the local port is created inside
the multi handle and used for all handles with a local port fitting to
that new connection. ?
