You do realize that 20 seconds is 20,000ms, right? Your query will time out way before that.

I'm sure the "scum hackers of the world" are trembling in fear of your quick wit.

That's your opinion, but I meant exactly what I said.

Not trying to be critical, and I have used Level 3's NS servers a few times in a pinch..(mainly because I can remember the address), But I wonder what L3 thinks of all of the people that use them? I suppose if it was a big issue they would close them up, but since OPENDNS came into being, I have had good luck with them and the price is right .
With some of the filter options we can get, I find it a great service....
thoughts anyone??

Can someone explain why OpenDNS remains immune?
OpenDNS's founder and CEO says here that OpenDNS's servers were never vulnerable and he posted on his blog that he would explain later why that was the case. But he never did.
»blog.opendns.com/2008/07/08/open···ou-safe/
I’m very proud to announce that we are one of the only DNS vendor / service providers that was not vulnerable when this issue was first discovered by Dan. During Dan’s testing he confirmed (and we later confirmed) that our DNS implementation is not susceptible to the attack that was discovered.

We’re going to write more about this issue in the next 24 hours to address the vulnerability in detail and explain why we aren’t affected but I wanted to get the word out now so that you know you are safe using OpenDNS.
Maybe he thought better of putting out on the internet why his DNS servers are immune for fear of giving hackers ideas on how to attack his servers. If I were him I wouldn't be giving out any info that might make life easier for the scum hackers of the world.

"Remaining" immune isn't a problem. Once a server is properly reconfigured, you're done, pretty much.

The unpatched servers are run by people who are either (a) lazy, (b) irresponsible, or (c) cheap. Pick three.

I'm suprised, just ran the tests again, and my Verizon FiOS DNS servers (71.242.0.12 and 71.252.0.12) still come back as POOR. Very suprising. I can't belive they haven't patched them yet!

Glad I switched to OpenDNS a while back!
