DNS Problems?
If anyone is still having DNS problems with Bellsouth (now AT&T), or any other ISP, this looks like an interesting solution. It's a value-added free DNS service, that makes money from ads when you type in a bad URL. It also claims to block phishing sites, so it provides additional security.

I have had problems with Charter, which uses the AT&T DNS server out of Atlanta. I have been using open DNS for a while and it does pretty good.

Rand, you seem to approve of OpenDNS' handling of nonexistent domains. How do you feel about Earthlink's and NSI's previous adoption of the same tactic?

Frankly, I haven't given it much thought, so I'm not sure whether I approve or not.

Fair enough.

My first thought is that this is different from Earthlink and Verisign because you have to actively choose to use their DNS, rather than having your ISP force the 'feature' on you.
