Note that, whenever possible, Tor relay operators using a local DNS
resolver should enable qname mininisation [1], so that the resolver only
sends to the authoritative servers what they need to know to respond.
Support for qname minimisation has recently been added in unbound [2]
1.5.7, and is planned in the future Knot resolver [3].
