You're correct that your internal LAN traffic will remain the same, and any outside traffic will go through OpenDNS. I'll I've done is to modify the forwarders to point to the OpenDNS servers - and it works terrifically well!

Right now my dns is set to forward all requests to root servers, no caching and no zones other than that board.imcu.com zone we set up last week. Otherwise my forward lookup and reverse lookup zones only have dynamic updates from internal IP's... So if I set my three DC's to forward to OpenDNS the users would get all their internal DNS lan traffic fine and all real Internet traffic would resolve DNS through OpenDNS?? If I understand everybody ok. The link OpenDNS setup send me too was a link to MS stating to delete the [.] zone but I don't see one of those on my DC's??? From: Andrew S.

Then, your clients will get all internal addresses as they do now, and will go to OpenDNS rather than your ISP or looking up the addresses via the Root servers for everything else. Works like a charm. Been using it at home, work and at our church for over a year at this point now.
