> Trust them? Quote: "OpenDNS makes money by offering clearly labeled advertisements alongside organic search results when the domain entered is not valid and not a typo we can fix. OpenDNS will provide additional services on top of its enhanced DNS service, and some of them may cost money."
While they likely have the infrastructure to serve requests (DNS hardware is cheap, real expense is bandwidth, which they expect to offset through ad rev, based on some calculation of typo frequency)... a corporation who would choose their (certainly rate-limited, obviously more so if you're not linking to them over dark fiber) service over their own internal caching DNS would be making a strange investment, IMO. Maybe a home user whose ISP's DNS sux? Notably, this kind of "managed DNS" on has no impact on phishing sites run off IP addresses alone. If all such URL formats aren't immediately blocked by client-side phishing filters, then you're equally exposed with or without OpenDNS. Anyway, I vastly prefer inline web filters like Websense, etc. whose phishing signatures operate equally on IPs and hostnames. Such egress filters, plus the ClamAV anti-phishing signatures, approach the problem from more appropriate angles. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
