 Im using the tor browser bundle for linux all is working fine. However how
 does the tor browser handle dns requests?

 I did a test on the shields up website using the DNS nameserver test and
 while using the tor browser about 30 different DNS servers were found.
 Normally when im on my standard ISP connection only the servers of my ISP
 are found. What does this mean?
