 Why not?

 In that case, shouldn't ttdnsd be updated to use torsocks instead of
 tsocks?

 Seems like I missed out on something; why can't we use ISC software (and
 what, on a standard Debian system, classifies as ISC software)?

 I wonder if we should wait with shipping 0.2.3.x until it can be
 considered stable. The purpose of the Torouter is to provide a (cheap)
 consumer-level Internet router that is a tor bridge. Shipping with
 software that cannot be considered stable and/or hasn't been tested in the
 wild may not be a good idea.
