Re: [Rant] ISPs refusing to give out DNS server address to custo

Big deal. DNS through them may continue to suck regardless of whether you hard-code their server addresses. If you insist on putting in server addresses, just use OpenDNS like in the picture and be done with it. To make life even easier, leave the computers set to autoconfig and set DNS at the router so DHCP will assign it to all clients.

The reason they don't want residential doing it is so customers will autoconfig and get whatever their network admins want customers to use. It eliminates the guaranteed flood of "can't route" calls if they make changes.
