[Cialug] DNS Hijacking

[Josh More]

OK, I'm going to admit right off that I didn't read the article very
carefully (at all), but wouldn't this sort of thing be easily bypassed
if someone just uses the OpenDNS servers instead of the ISP's?

In short, this sort of thing may be contrary to the spirit of the 'net,
but if it's easily bypassed by those that it annoys, who cares?

(Now, if they did DNS hijacking AND blocked OpenDNSesque services, I'd
have a huge problem with it.)

:) I should probably mention that it was because of this kind of 
boondoggle that I said "*Adios!" to Qwest...
