commit 1753975ece98f4054ec65683862db120a3b8f261

    When not an exit node, don't test for DNS hijacking.
    
    Back in 5e762e6a5c0e6729bb7dbb586af2690c087d9ba8, non-exit servers
    stopped launching DNS requests for users.  So there's no need for them
    to see if their DNS answers are hijacked.
    
    Patch from Matt Pagan.  I think this is a 965 fix.

+    - Non-exit servers no longer launch mock DNS requests to check for
+      DNS hijacking.  This has been unnecessary since 0.2.1.7-alpha,

+      965; bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha. Patch from Matt Pagan.
