It depends on how they're doing it. If they simply intercept port 53 traffic, then not using port 53 for your queries will bypass it. But if they also snoop on some other ports, or snoop on all traffic for things that look like DNS queries, then you're screwed. My opinion of ISPs that do transparent proxying, is rather low. I understand the point of view that some do that, so users don't have to configure their software. But my experience has been that ISPs do it to: Lower their operating costs, while still charging you the same, and to rake in more customers than their equipment (otherise) has bandwidth for. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
