The DNS requests corresponding to typical HTTP traffic would be negligible compared to that HTTP traffic. DNS servers generally don't generate any traffic except when you perform a query.

Should be <512 bytes per request and after a particular domain name is queried it doesn't need to be queried again for some time (depending on TTL).

so its really only somewhat anonymizing if many people use it? is there some kind of distributed DNS table through TOR or something?
