I found a problem with TorDNS and windows. You have to turn off the windows dns cache in order for TorDNS to function properly. This will also cause "ipconfig /flushdns" in command prompt not to work, and the reason why is because once you turn off the windows dns cache, there is no cache to flush. The instructions on how to turn off windows dns cache is on the TorDNS website.
