After sending tor a HUP, I now have errors from OpenDNS and Google DNS servers. I opened a support ticket with the provider to find out how to use their provided nameservers. Looks like I just need to keep fiddling. At any rate, I'm still getting plenty of traffic, and the servers come back almost instantly, so it shouldn't be making too much of an impact.
Thanks for the help!
