Yes, opendns is working great for me. Might depend on which version you went with.
OK.. I see you’re in FL. I’m in NY. Wonder if a backbone is down. Might explain why you get through but up here in the north the ‘roads’ are closed..
I rarely have had issues with OpenDNS, but right now any lookup that has to access OpenDNS, which would be my two wireless routers, my gateway machine to my LAN, and the DSL modem can’t find FR. Machines on the LAN go through the gateway software which caches the lookup after if gets it, so all of those machines (such as this one) are accessing FR without asking for a lookup externally.
When I checked OpenDNS they did not indicate any server issues except for South Africa.. Are you using enterprise or home OpenDNS?
