-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 i'm pretty sure someone has written some dns proxy that queries through tor, i have a vague memory that it was only implemented in windows however. i'm going to look into this because i think it'd be rather cool to actually resolve all dns queries through tor, although sometimes that may wind up with different ip addresses depending on the exit node doing the query.
