OpenDNS Update

I previously posted that I was looking into OpenDNS  for my organization.  Since my last post I can say we have embraced it fully and have migrated our IPs at the main office and a half dozen of remote sites.

It has been a tremendous help to locate issues with PCs and servers on our networks.  I have been able to mediate several PCs with spyware and one that was being used to send SPAM.  Although OpenDNS didn't help prevent the computers from getting infected it did mitigate further problems.

It was great for peace of mind on April 1st when that whole Conflicker hype scare happened.  OpenDNS was able to track if any DNS requests were being sent to Conflicker controlled domains.

We are planning on moving more remote site to OpenDNS.  Another update to come down the road.
