Calling Tor's hostname lookup backend a DNS resolver is overly
nice. :)

I think it only does A, AAAA and PTR records, and it only returns one
answer (even if say an RRset contains more than one IP address).

Doing proper DNS resolution, including returning the entire dnssec chain
back to the client on resolves, would be nice.  Somebody should do it.  :)

Cheers,
