With a large-enough cache and sufficient uptime dnsmasq effectively becomes a mini-DNS server that stores IP addresses for the vast majority of sites that Tor users ever visit.
NAK, just 10,000 addresses can be cached.
The stats of dnsmasq my exit relay shows after 6 hours :
Oct 8 18:51:17 mr-fox dnsmasq[19806]: cache size 10000, 203238/1102103 cache insertions re-used unexpired cache entries. Oct 8 18:51:17 mr-fox dnsmasq[19806]: queries forwarded 444146, queries answered locally 42117 Oct 8 18:51:17 mr-fox dnsmasq[19806]: DNSSEC memory in use 120768, max 173280, allocated 999984
so just 10% of all DNS queries are cached, the vast majority is forwarded to the DNS server of my ISP.
