    Anyone use OpenDNS?

    I had to manually configure my machine back to Virgin Media's DNS today after domains wouldn't resolve at all this morning.

    But there's no issue reports on the OpenDNS website.

    :\
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Like you Steve I had to drop the openDNS for the Virgin ones as OpenDNS would not resolve at least 3 times a day

    Why not use opendns for primary dns, isp for secondary ?
