   All the times that I've used or seen TOR used have been through a SOCKS   
   server interface.   
      
   SOCKS has the ability to ask the server to resolve the hostnames, be it   
   DNS or something else.   
      
   So, yes, DNS queries do take place, but they are done by the server   
   where the traffic comes out.   
      
   Also, I'm of the opinion that TOR is not the panacea that some make it   
   out to be.  It is significantly better than not using it.  But there are   
   still problems.
