You really cant count the open Level3/GTEI DNS servers as a competitor for OpenDNS or what Google has just released. These are completely unsupported, and use of these servers from outside Level 3 has been blocked/delayed at different times. I use these all the time for testing and for my own personal use, but depending on these for anything production is a very bad idea. Plus OpenDNS's model is based on selling you their higher level services, while I am sure Google will eventually link the service to google accounts to track your web usage just like they track, index, and show you ads based on your web searches, email messages, etc. Then again, depending on OpenDNS, Google, or anything else outside your control for production services probably isn't a good idea anyway. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Morrow [mailto:morrowc.lists () gmail com] Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 1:25 PM To: Richard Bennett Cc: nanog () nanog org; ken () heavycomputing ca Subject: Re: news from Google On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 5:53 AM, Richard Bennett <richard () bennett com> wrote:
Google will be all sweetness and light until they've crushed OpenDNS, and when the competitor's out of the picture, they'll get down to the monetizing.
one note: OpenDNS is not the only 'competitor' here.... just one of the better obviously known ones. ie: 4.2.2.2 L(3) 198.6.1.1/2/3/4/5/122/142/146/195 ex-UU Neustar (can't recall ips, sorry) -chris
