A big point being missed is the addition of "if you want."We have written this as a recursive dns service that can do different things to different IPs. You quote from our FAQ but you leave out the cluefull parts of the FAQ so this is one that's important:How do I turn off phishing protection or typo correction?If you want to use OpenDNS but do not want phishing protection and/or typo correction, you may ask us to disable that protection for you. Currently, setting these preferences requires an OpenDNS team member. In the future, you may manage this preference yourself, if registered. Registration will be free, and not required to use the service. This preference will be offered first for members with a static IP address, and then for those with dynamic IP addresses.So if you want standard NXDOMAIN, that's fine. Happy to do it. Different strokes for different folks. That's the whole idea.We're not new at this, or looking to make a quick buck by annoying you with ads. I recommend giving it a try and letting me know your thoughts. The idea of both building an intelligent recursive dns server and a recursive DNS service are both a long time in the making and make a lot of sense. Perhaps we can work on our messaging to more technical audiences. :-)Best, David Ulevitch
I stand corrected. After reading further, it does appear to provide a useful service that many will find meets/exceeds their needs..
Thanks
