I use Opendns via static ip DSL served to my lan via Linux based dns gateways. Comcast cable does not use a static ip where I've noticed that saying use the Opendns servers on the Netgear router isn't enough. Do I need to use a dynamic ip address tracking service so I can make sure that DNS filtering is in effect? I've turned off the router's dynamic ip configuration lan side so that I can plug in my servers and I could forseeably set things up so that the opendns dns servers are always accessed through the DSL. If I do that though, the cable will not act as a failover in the event that the DSL is down. I've played around with the Netgear RP614v4's site blocking feature, but that is an inferior approach to the problem and for some reason no matter what I put in, certain sites just won't block.
Does anyone use OpenDNS with residential comcast cable? How about dynamic ip tracking services, anyone use these? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
