[dba-Tech] OpenDNS

Must have gotten a sector cross-linked... 
  
Maybe Google might be a better and more universal option. Thanks for the
information Gustav.

Hi Jim

Same here. It is good as an alternative if your default DNS servers of your
ISP seem to behave strangely, which we have seen more than twice. But I
don't like the URL "guessing" feature they offer - more confusing than
resolving.

However, these days Google offer free DNS as well at 8.8.8.8, an address you
can't forget, thus perfect for high priority service calls.

OpenDNS doesn't offer any file sharing to my knowledge. Are you mixing
something up?

Hi Jim,

I just changed DNS server addresses and forgot about it. Sorry, I never 
any of their customising services.
