New description:

 Tor use IP addresses for connection to other relays at the moment.
 Sometimes all IP addresses is blocked on proxy servers and allowed DNS
 names only.
 It would be good if tor have an option to go by DNS instead of IP.

Comment(by arma):

 I wonder if there are domains that do wildcard dns resolves, where you
 e.g. ask about a.b.c.d.addresstohost.com and it returns a.b.c.d for you.

 Not exactly a foolproof step in the arms race, but still a shuffle
 forward.
