I told my wife, that's virtually impossible with OpenDNS. Called Tech Support of our ISP and they told me their international connectivity was down. For us, the nearest OpenDNS service is in Miami and that's where the underwater cable to the USA ends. The next morning, no DNS. For some reason, after 20 1/2 months, the DNS/DNS Caching in our IPCop box died. :-) I suggest everyone consider using OpenDNS, in their homes and offices.

[CentOS] Went with OpenDNS for now
A few weeks ago I asked about firewalls and family filters. Lanny Marcus, I believe, suggested OpenDNS. Just wanted to thank him (and everyone here) for their suggestions. Eventually I would like to learn about firewalls, but I don't really want to run another machine at this time. OpenDNS is trivial to set up on the router and looks to be just about exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Sorry to have dropped out of the other thread without thanking everyone or reporting the results -- I just last night dug up the thread (google search) and saw the OpenDNS suggestion. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
