Comment(by atagar):

 > Why should we tie support for DNS requests to support for TCP
 connections to arbitrary hosts on port 53?

 I had been thinking that by accepting port 53 the relay operator's already
 agreeing to host DNS queries, but on second thought any relay that allows
 connections to the destination we're trying to reach would be perfectly
 fine.
