[tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

[Tristan]

According to the Tor manual, IPV4 DNS queries are cached by default, but
the UseIVP4Cache option says this:

NOTE: This option, along UseIPv6Cache and UseDNSCache, can harm your
anonymity, and probably won’t help performance as much as you might expect.
Use with care!

Not sure if it's on by default, or if I should turn it on.

Are you caching the DNS queries?
