Description

When requests are made to an external, couch DB provides a 'peer' item in the request info with the address of the couchdb instance (eg, 127.0.0.1). CouchDB should also provide the port on this address, so externals can reliably make requests back to couch.

The comments in COUCHDB-393 imply this might not be trivial.
