We've been using OpenDNS for well over a year in Salem and find it to be very effective for our needs. Policy grouping seems to be very good since we only get 1-2 unblock requests a month at most.<br><br>Brad<br><br><br>

<div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<br><br>Is anyone using OpenDNS, particularly the Enterprise version, for content filtering at your library? If so I'd like to hear your experiences with it. We're currently using St. Bernard iPrism appliances that will soon be unsupported and need to be replaced. Based on past conversations on this list I'm also looking at DansGuardian and several other appliances.<br>
