> velope wants a log message, saying what hostname Tor resolved and what
IP address it resolved to.
>
> I want (a) a flag which indicates that Tor learned its external IP
address by resolving its hostname, (b) a flag that tells Tor to not try to
learn its external IP address by resolving its hostname, and (c) a routine
(called when Tor has learned its external IP address by resolving its
hostname and Tor has detected that its DNS servers lie) that checks
whether Tor's external IP address matches an address used for DNS
hijacking, and, if so, sets the ‘don't learn your address from your lying
DNS servers’ flag and causes Tor to try to determine its IP address again.
I think that velope's idea should be really doable for 0.2.3.x. I like
your idea too, but it feels more like an 0.2.4.x thing to me.
