OpenDNS

Just found this little gem…it is a free recursive DNS service. My ISP’s (Charter) DNS servers were extremely slow in resolving names; after switching to OpenDNS I have noticed a huge increase in name resolution. It also incorporates a range of neat features: usage reporting, phishing protection and mistake correction (example: you type in yahoo.cmo, it will still go to yahoo.com). They even have a FREE Business product that I am considering trying out at church. It has numerous options, perhaps the best is the reporting that can be done. If you are tired of your ISP’s DNS servers you might want to give OpenDNS a glance.
