I've used OpenDNS in the past as well, and functionally, it worked great. Did exactly what we wanted, which was blocking access to sites. We did notice an odd problem though. It was significantly slowing down our browsing periodically. After enough of these episodes we went back to our old DNS, and the slow downs went away.
Just something to keep in mind if you use it, and notice anything odd down the road. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 11:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Web blocking OpenDNS.com Its free..Works well and we have it running at about a dozen sites. Clients love it. We charge time to go through and set it all up for them, but then show them how to manage the lists etc.. Just point your Windows DNS Forwarders to look at their IP's and for real security block DNS outbound to everything but their IP's.

You might advise him that the cost of keeping the list of blocked sites current will quickly exceed the cost of a subscription. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
