#9081: When using DNSPort, Other Query type(MX,TXT) not resolved correctly

 I'm using DNSPort to anonymize my DNS queries.
 I changed from public DNS, because of PRISM scandal.

 And I found this problem:

 "A" Query resolved correctly,
 > nslookup -type=a google.com
 Address: X.X.X.X

 but "MX" and "TXT" returns...
 > nslookup -type=mx google.com
 *** can't find google.com: Not implemented ***

 So my question is, how can I request MX and TXT over Tor DNS?
 This "DNSPort" will be great alternative to public dns services, if Tor
 can do this.

 {An idea about this problem}
 How about adding "DNSRelayIP"?

 sample:
 DNSPort 127.0.0.1:53
 DNSRelayIP 129.250.35.250
 DNSRelayIP 129.250.35.251

 Meaning:
 User can query A,MX,TXT to Tor DNS.
 Tor will query A via Tor.
 Tor will query MX and TXT to "DNSRelayIP"(TCP normal traffic).
