this is strange / stupid. I was quite annoyed / worried when i first saw this (was on globe broadband for 6 months until they could not restore wired access, so had to go back to smart bro). in fact i thought someone had hijacked one of smart bro's servers.
like what everyone else has done, used opendns instead. it's just annoying that i cannot configure my wireless router to use opendns for DNS (if DHCP is enabled, both IP-address-getting and DNS-server-getting are done via DHCP). so have to configure my PC to use opendns "by hand". On a different / related note: did anyone see yesterday's Star? it's got this one-page blurb on "open source and the PLDT group" but nothing specific.... although, Smart Bro has one of the largest Linux deployments in the country.
