 I'm having a strange problem with torsocks and resolving some dns records
 - one of the example i've managed to replicate on torsocks v2.2.0 and
 v2.1., tor version 0.2.9.11 (git-aa8950022562be76), version 0.3.2.9 (git-
 64a719dd25a21acb).

 I've tested this on several different machines/ips/isps so it not
 localized problem.

 }}}

 same issue can be replicated with node.xmr.be. Both domain have round
 robin configured for this record - they return multiple A records. Could
 this be the issue with this?
