An interesting typo given that opendns.com derives its revenue by a form of typosquatting. I tried them for a while, and quickly abandoned them when I discovered that their typosquatting rendered my autoproxy script useless. To their somewhat credit, their support desk replied promptly to my trouble report with a suggestion that if I registered (free), I could define a profile that would disable typosquatting for URLS I specified, such as my proxy candidates. I dropped opendns because I simply don't need any more memberships. There's a broad word-of-mouth following for some GTE/Level3 nameservers at 4.2.2.1 - 4.2.2.6. I have no information on their credibility. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
