DNS Seeds

Hello,

I have looked into the bitcoin source code and a question arises:

Is the implementation of the dns seeds still correct? As far as I can see the dns seeds hard coded in chainparams.cpp are not used.
The function ThreadDNSAddressSeed in net.cpp seems to use them, but the invokation of
LookupHost - LookupIntern - SetSpecial or
CNetAddr -LookupHost - LookupIntern - SetSpecial
in netbase.cpp ends up with SetSpecial which handles Onion/Tor-addresses only. And the hard coded dns seeds are no Onion/Tor-addresses.
Am I right?
Would be glad if anyone confirm this or help me to find my mistake.

PS: Does the question fit better to the bitcoin mailing list?
