  John & Ray,

I missed the beginning of this thread (if there was one) but I've been 
using OpenDNS for about 4 months now with really good results.

When I used my ISP for the DNS lookup, Yahoo would almost always time 
out when looking up a news story but if I then clicked on the "Try 
again" button the page would come right up. I assume the IP address 
arrived at my ISP just after the time out so they had it the second time 
I requested the page but it was a real PIA.

No problems at all with OpenDNS. Had to set their IP addresses into my 
router though for Internet access.
