 > 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.
