Humm, I've not checked on the torproject website, tuto how to build a
relay/exit...
It can be nice to link a tutorial : how to set up quickly and easily a
DNS resolver to increase privacy ?

May be exit operators can understand it's not really a big job to
apt-get install unbound (an example)
and use root DNS servers.
I've always read using root DNS is not very good for speed... but if I'm
not wrong Unbound (and others) have a cache ?
