There may be cached entries floating around though. > Actually, before posting my original note, I had used tor-resolve to look for an IP address, and it quickly returned 74.125.93.121. Doing a reverse lookup of that address (also with tor-resolve -x) returned not the original name but rather qw-in-f121.1e100.net. Plugging either the IP address or the latter name into the URL got me the same Google error page. Now, however, tor-resolve on the original name returns [warn] Got SOCKS5 status response '4': host is unreachable but the reverse lookup still gives the name shown above.
