[tor-relays] DNS server

[Thoughts]

Note that any dns caching software would help, unbound is just one 
popular one.  dnsmasq is another.  In fact, if you wanted to, you could 
use the full bind package and configure it for caching and forwarding, 
although that would be a bit of overkill.  Once you install caching 
software, make sure your /etc/resolv.conf or equivalent is pointing to 
127.0.0.1 as its first reference.
