I have tried both with and without quotes around the dns addresses. Any clues as to why it's not working with the opendns server addresses?
That's weird that Google works but not OpenDNS. I have no idea why. It may have been my post that suggested this method.
This works for me :

Code: Select all

supersede domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;
confirmed by:

Code: Select all

$ dig google.com |grep SERVER
;; SERVER: 208.67.222.222#53(208.67.222.222)
