Multiple pipelines to the same target host are then ok, as the user
explicitly chose a dedicated local port binding. Especially, in case a
custom IP routing based on local ports is applied, it is necessary to
use the local ports as configured, as otherwise a source port based
routing is not possible,because the source ports may differ from the
configured ones.
