Tom, please don't do that.

The system resolver is blocking, meaning that Polipo hangs during a
DNS lookup. This is unlike Polipo's built-in resolver, which will
allow other requests to be serviced while a DNS lookup is in progress.
Additionally, the system resolver doesn't give TTL information.

Indeed. You should be using a local DNS server in those (IMHO rare)
cases. I recommend pdnsd, which is what I use.
