Well, I did use Karen Kenworthy's whois utility which reported "No database entry for 208.69.32.13." Is there a generic way to check whois? I'll try http://www.whois.com. OK, I've done that. The only dialog I find, which is "well hidden", accepts domain names, but not IP addresses. OK, now knowing that it might work, I typed in the IP address into the box for the domain name, and I did get the response that it's OpenDNS. Who knew that the instructions are incorrect? So the OpenDNS-provided IP addresses for DNS lookup are just redirectors to the actual servers' IP addresss?
