Now, every cached_resolve_t can remember an IPv4 result *and* an IPv6 result. As a light protection against timing-based distinguishers for IPv6 users (and against complexity!), every forward request generates an IPv4 *and* an IPv6 request, assuming that we're an IPv6 exit. Once we have answers or errors for both, we act accordingly. This patch additionally makes some useful refactorings in the dns.c code, though there is quite a bit more of useful refactoring that could be done. Additionally, have a new interface for the argument passed to the evdns_callback function. Previously, it was just the original address we were resolving. But it turns out that, on error, evdns doesn't tell you the type of the query, so on a failure we didn't know whether IPv4 or IPv6 queries were failing. The new convention is to have the first byte of that argument include the query type. I've refactored the code a bit to make that simpler.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
