A simple question, please help

[Scott Haneda]

99% of the time openDNS works by just pointing some agent to their ip  
space.

That 1% of the time, openDNS tries to make DNS responses that are  
modified in a way to try to help you.

Maybe this is your issue?

Googl.com being common enough they elect to return the google.com's  
answer istead.

By default openDNS does not know how to return NXDOMAIN.

This is fine for end users. This is bad for developed and servers.

OpenDNS also does phishing URL blocking, stats, and a lot more.

If you plan on using them as a resolver  you want to be accurate, you  
must disable these features. Simply create an account with open DNS,  
login, add your IP, and disable all respond modification settings.

Make sure someone elses IP has not been inherited by you with settings  
you will not want.

I used to reccomend openDNS to everone. I found a problem in their  
system many many months back. Despite a small effort to resolve it,  
they have seemingly forgot about the problem.

Maybe someone else here has recommendationd to huge robust recursive  
resolvers that do not focus on any response modification.
