[tor-relays] Nameservers fail and come back at the same time?

[Tristan]

After sending tor a HUP, I now have errors from OpenDNS and Google DNS
servers. I opened a support ticket with the provider to find out how to use
their provided nameservers. Looks like I just need to keep fiddling. At any
rate, I'm still getting plenty of traffic, and the servers come back almost
instantly, so it shouldn't be making too much of an impact.

Thanks for the help!
