I found another reason to run
OpenDNS. Brian Krebs of the Washington Post recently
posted about a newly revealed security problem in the design of DNS.
Brian linked to Dan Kaminsky's
blog. Dan has a gadget on his page that will check YOUR DNS server. You know me. Like the bank robber in "
Dirty Harry," "I gots to know."
Here's what the test reported for OpenDNS:

Then I went to another PC that is using BellSouth's DNS servers:

You be the judge.
