New description:

 onionoo does DNS lookups for some fields, please use a DNSSEC validating
 resolver.

 I don't think it is necessary to add new fields but lets
 add it to the description of the _host_names fields

 Edit: We already do this, but we still should add some text to the spec.

Comment:

 We actually already do this. (:

 The hosts have a local unbound stub resolver installed and this is used by
 Onionoo when performing lookups.
