Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [ticket:2575 atagar]:
 > c. We need to direct the failed DNS requests somewhere and exits that,
 say, disallow HTTP might be doing so for reasons that make handling DNS
 requests for webpages bad for them. For this one I'd suggest that we
 direct these requests to exits that explicitly allow port 53.
 Why should we tie support for DNS requests to support for TCP connections
 to arbitrary hosts on port 53?
