[tor-relays] [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed

[SuperSluether]

It's been mentioned here once before, but you shouldn't be using 
Google's DNS servers as they see almost all of the Tor network traffic.

My solution was to run a local DNS resolver (unbound in my case) and to 
use at least 2 DNS servers from the Open NIC project: 
https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/

After adding servers from OpenNIC, the errors disappeared completely for me.
