First OpenDNS Problem Since Jan 6 2007

This is my first reported problem since using the great service that OpenDNS provides, some of the sites that I visit from Digg and including my own website today did not resolve. Strange so I checked the DNS name servers to see if my host was down, it wasn’t that. I doubled checked by using a online cgi proxy and the site showed up without a problem so the problem had to be with OpenDNS. Meanwhile I have switched back to my Optimum Online DNS service to post this problem on my blog.
I checked with OpenDNS’s status page, all their servers seem to be up at the moment, looks like others are having this same problem too. If anything like this happens to you where OpenDNS are having problems, simple take out the DNS settings on your router by following the same directions on OpenDNS.com and restore them back to 0.0.0.0 or default blank.
However, once they fix the problem I’ll switch back because their service has really made my online browsing experience faster! Take a look at their 2007 plans.

Defiantly give them a try, I blogged about OpenDNS twice already.

Tony,
Were you getting the search page or just getting a page not found error?

I was getting the search page, but if you clear the cache it worked again:
