recently. I got around to setting up a basic page which does the DNS
check you're refering to, and also does a check to make sure gopher://
requests are being proxied:
http://clayman.tor.grepular.com/torcheck.cgi
The DNS check basically works by just turning on binds query logging,
and then having a daemon which tails the log file looking for the
appropriate requests and then making the data available to the cgi
