If you don't fear until now, have a look at DNSSEC[1] and ask you, why there should be a need for "Data integrity" and "Origin authentication of DNS data"! Since every ISP/ASP offers own resolvers to his customers, it make much sense to use them, since they normaly don't have any interests to manipulate the data, if you don't have a complete DNSSEC infrastructure. The question is, why should opendns offer his service for free! No, the given answer(s) on their website doesn't makes me satisfied. With kind regards, Jan.
