Ron: Again, you are welcome.  One morning last week, we had no DNS. I
told my wife, that's virtually impossible with OpenDNS. Called Tech
Support of our ISP and they told me their international connectivity
was down. For us, the nearest OpenDNS service is in Miami and that's
where the underwater cable to the USA ends.

The next morning, no DNS.  For some reason, after 20 1/2 months, the
DNS/DNS Caching in our IPCop box died.   :-)

I suggest everyone consider using OpenDNS, in their homes and offices.  Lanny
