New description:
To check if an exit can exit to the destination, sbws is trying to resolve
the domain locally, which fails in many cases.
Even if it does not fail, the IP obtained won't be the same IP to which
the exit will make the HTTP request when using a CND.
When the domain resolution is failing, sbws try to choose other exit
without restricting that does not have the bad flag and without checking
that can exit to an http port.
sbws will also be faster and give less errors not resolving domains
locally.
