[OPLINTECH] Google Announces Public DNS Service

[Eric Maynard]

Which raises the related question of should Libraries be persuing services
like OpenDNS even if they don't filter or have other means to filter?

Is the "extra" layer of malware protection reason enough to consider using
OpenDNS?  Is there a performance benefit if nothing else?

I use this on my home LAN and have given this some though in the past for
Holmes Co, but have yet to act with any kind of test or trial.

Thoughts?
