If you change your DNS settings, your computer may not work on the company network any more, or you may have intermittent errors. Please check with your company's IT department to see if changing your DNS is okay before making the change. You may or may not be technically able to make the change depending on whether or not you have local administrator rights on your computer, but please don't mess things up without checking first! ~David S.

To all my friends I recommend your service. In my blog I wrote two notes about installation multihomed dns using bind pdnsd. I leave here references, possibly to someone will prove useful these knowledge. http://brj.pp.ru/2006/12/10/opendns-multihomed-dns/lang/en/ http://brj.pp.ru/2006/12/10/multihomed-dns-named-pdnsd/lang/en/ Thanks to all opendns team. You made my life better. It is good that appeared the instruction, as to dispose opendns at work. To all my friends I recommend your service.

Until I fix that, I think I'll have to chage the router config back, so that it can resolve the inner dns names correctly.

Frankly, the DNS from AT&T Worldnet wasn't all that reliable, so I figured why not. Seeing as OpenDNS provides phishing protection, it'll keep the slackers from causing problems for themselves and my network at the same time. Well done, and keep up the great work!
