We just served our 500,000,000,000th DNS request. In other words, a half trillion. Because of how we aggregate our stats and the volume in which we do them (many at the same time) we don’t know exactly what the 500 billionth request was. I’m sure it was a good one.
If I had to guess, it was probably someone looking up one of the best tech sites on the net, Digg.com or someone visiting one of the best new tech bloggers, Paul Stamatiou.
Update: Now that I think about it, it was probably someone buying a nice gift for their special someone over at Kathy Van Zeeland. (KVZ uses OpenDNS, of course)

What a milestone! Congratulations for this achievement. No doubt the half-trillionth request was to the OpenDNS blog.

David,
At this rate, in about a year you’ll have to start inventing numbers. Let me know when you hit a joshjillian.
Congrats!
