1) You can personally opt-out of OpenDNS' NXDOMAIN stuff & such. 2) I don't really see how that makes a difference. The point is, OpenDNS is not forcing anyone. Your ISP has a policy you don't like, use a different ISP. If there is no other ISP, well, I don't know what to tell you? Start one? Move? End of day, it is an OPT-IN service. If you happen to "opt-in" by buying service from your ISP, that does not change the basic premise. -- TTFN, patrick
