Let me respond to a few of your comments and questions. OpenDNS respects TTL (time to live) completely. Our cache is unusually large, but it does _not_ cache anything longer than the domain owner sets. I posted yesterday about our phishing process. Should answer your questions: http://blog.opendns.com/2006/07/24/opendns-phishing-sites/ W/R/T privacy... read our privacy policy at http://www.opendns.com/privacy . I'm not sure why you trust a "top tier provider" more than OpenDNS. Do you know the folks at the provider? http://www.opendns.com/who gives you our background and history; decide for yourself. You choose OpenDNS... if you find a reason to leave, there is nothing to stop you. If you just want speedy reliable DNS, without the typo correction and phishing protection, go to http://www.opendns.com/prefs and make your choices. We're very clear about how we make money... it's in our FAQ, too. We are creating a vibrant business by making the Internet work better. Glad your commenters have found OpenDNS to be a worthwhile choice. I hope you will, too. Cheers, John Roberts OpenDNS Dan,

I personally rely mainly on bookmarks, and the most errors I make when typing in a URL is transposing letters in the top-level domain (typing .cmo, .rog, etc), and OpenDNS automagically corrects it for you!

Faster load times is reason enough for me to use this rather than relying on Comcasts DNS. Concerning the page ads that users see when an incorrect URL is entered, I would rather see the OpenDNS page instead of one of those cheesy placeholder pages littered with travel and pharmaceutical links.
