FYI, when you get that Privoxy message while using Tor (or any other 
downstream proxy) it just means that Tor was unable to retrieve the 
page.  Privoxy has no way of knowing whether this was because of a DNS 
failure or some other reason.  (If Privoxy is the final proxy then it 
knows whether the problem is DNS or not.  They should probably use a 
different failure message when Privoxy passes the request onto another 
proxy.)
