You probably have private zones which the public DNS cannot see. AKA split DNS. Wasn't it just last week I was warning you about that? Wow, karma's a bitch, eh? I told you so, etc. ;-) Hopefully you've got one internal nameserver (or set of nameservers) that is authoritative for all those private zones. Configure all your internal DNS clients -- including Windows servers which are DNS clients -- to query through that nameserver. Configure that nameserver to forward queries to OpenDNS. If you've got multiple caching resolvers in your network, configure them for selective forwarding (available in Win 2003 or later) to forward the private zones to the internal nameservers, and everything else to OpenDNS. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

I'm using forwarding to OpenDNS for quite sometime now with no complaints. Their usage graphs are pretty, FWIW.

Re: OpenDNS
All you need to do to use it successfully is to setup your current DNS server for Active Directory, to forward to OpenDNS for all remote zones. 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.

RE: OpenDNS Newbie
Is the IP address properly configured? OpenDNS needs the external IP of your network. If you have a dynamic IP you'll need to use the updater utility. Also, remove any other external DNS pointers or you'll still be able to hit those sites. I usually just test by trying to hit www. Playboy.com. If it's blocked you're good to go.

RE: OpenDNS Newbie
Try the Custom filtering option and select the specific categories you need to block. I don't recall it taking more than an hour to see the results, but it a few months ago. OpenDNS is gaining popularity so may be slowing down.

I use it at my call center in my DNS forwarders. I am not sure whose proxy avoidance list is more accurate between OpenDNS and Websense, but using them both I think is better than just one.
