+user1747 often visits web sites which provide their services within the 
+visible web and as hidden service. DuckDuckGo might serve as an example.
+Does the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) automatically switch to a hidden service
+in this case [XXX]? mirimir explained that there is no connection between
+DNS and the names of hidden services. So TBB doesn't not know about this
+hidden service and can't connect automatically. user2949 pointed to a
+plugin [XXX] similar to HTTPS Everywhere. This plugin forwards a request to
+a hidden service if it is available.

+bk201 found some randomly looking domain names in the logs of some
+network software. These connection attempts disappeared when Tor was
+closed [XXX]. So bk201 wants to know what they are. Lunar explained
+that they are requests for non-existant domain names. Tor wants to
+find out if some DNS servers send fake answers. This feature was
+added in 2007 [XXX].
