Beware, whom you trust your DNS to. I have particularly enjoyed using OpenDNS, mainly because I travel a lot, and encounter a lot of broken DNS configurations. However, when OpenDNS goes wonky, it makes you really wonder if running local DNS makes more sense.<\/p>\n

\nClearly, not good? Quick edit of \/etc\/resolv.conf<\/tt>, and I’m quite happy to use local DNS. Oops, it seems like OpenDNS is clearly down now (can’t even reach opendns.com). Ironically, only from my Unwired Internet account.<\/p>\n
The difference in traceroute output (for status.opendns.com):
\n12 38.104.140.46 (38.104.140.46) 261.618 ms 267.483 ms 268.207 ms

From hop 12, to hop 13, it is unreachable. Let’s hope this temporary problem, disappears.<\/p>\n
