Just wanted to let the person with the Earthlink DNS issue know that apparently
they set up some servers not doing the redirection:

As Dave mentioned last week, we've been working to tune the configuration of

This doesn't work; it keeps resetting. Are you using Ubuntu? the path
for the config is /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.conf. Anyway, using 'prepend'
works, but 'supercede' does not for some reason. going to

Alternatively, you can use OpenDNS's servers. See www.opendns.com.
OpenDNS is very easy (just use their IP addresses), and quite fast.
I'm not sure I like their privacy policy:

Does anyone else here use Ubuntu? I set OpenDNS as my domain
resolvers, but DHCP later erased these settings. I should be able to

I'm currently running a Tor node (phrenograph) on an Earthlink DSL
connection, and they've recently started returning a help site's IP
instead of NXDOMAIN when a DNS lookup is requested for a nonexistent
site. See [1] for more. Should I be concerned about this change's
