Comment:

 Tor doesn't currently support remote resolution of arbitrary record types:
 partially because Libevent's evdns module doesn't support that, and
 partially because there isn't a design for that yet.  Neither problem is
 insurmountable, but neither is going to get resolved by 0.2.4.x.  For now,
 you might check to see if ttdns meets your needs.

 (I had thought we already had a ticket for making tor support more record
 types, but I don't seem to find it atm)
