"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
12 July 2007DNS of iniquityOnce in a while, my broadband connection at home refuses to serve up some Web sites. And by "some," I mean this: about two-thirds of the sites on my blogroll become inaccessible, but the others work just fine. This happens just often enough to be annoying. So I'm considering pointing my router to OpenDNS, bypassing my ISP's DNS server. If any of you have tried this particular expedient, I'd appreciate hearing about it. (Not that I'm going to be doing this any time soon, what with being on the road and all.) Posted at 7:05 PM to PEBKACTry it and see. If you don't like it, you can turn it off. :-) -david Posted by: David Ulevitch at 9:11 PM on 12 July 2007Here's what I've written about them. I love 'em: http://www.insignificantthoughts.com/?s=opendns Posted by: Vinny at 9:14 PM on 12 July 2007Haven't heard of it till now, but looks darned interesting, especially for anyone riding a rogue notebook around the countryside. I'm gonna 'sperment with it on my test bed system at the shop. In Windows 2K or XP, if doesn't work immediately, may have to flush the DNS cache. At a command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns Hope you try it and post results here. I'll do likewise. Posted by: Winston at 9:34 PM on 12 July 2007 |
