It's possible - if you use UltraDNS - that this was related to their outage, and not an OpenDNS issue at all. It's still unconfirmed, but there's buzz that an outage took down Salesforce temporarily. @john - sorry for the late response.

We use Salesforce.com. This morning my users where not able to browse to any page of the Salesforce.com domain. I returned the DNS forwarders to my ISP and we are now able to access salesforce. I would like to use your service as I have only a small business budget and I feel your service provides added security but my users must be able to access Salesforce. I did add saleforce.com to the white list after re-pointing the forwarders but I will only be able to verify this tonight after hours when everyone is gone and I can point my DNS server back to your service. Do you have any ideas why this problem? I had the content filtering set to minimal so as not to see problems like this and I planned on gradually increasing the level. The path to salesforce.com's login is [ https://login.salesforce.com/ ] . Is there an issue with a https secure socket layer with OpenDNS? Thanks!
