 > > When the domain resolution is failing, sbws try to choose other relay
 that does not have the exit flag. If it is not an exit, it will fail to
 make an HTTP request.

 3b84dbf9a215f274316faeccffc94f21L180 line 180] then we go to the `else`
 block on line 186 where the "second hop" we pick there is an exit.
