I don't see where this helps.

nslookup adsfkjasldkfj.com 208.67.220.220
Server:  resolver2.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.220.220

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    adsfkjasldkfj.com
Address:  208.67.217.130


nslookup 208.67.217.130
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    hit-nxdomain.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.217.130


What should happen is this.

nslookup adsfkjasldkfj.com 130.207.9.13
Server:  zeon.cc.gatech.edu
Address:  130.207.9.13

*** zeon.cc.gatech.edu can't find adsfkjasldkfj.com: Non-existent domain

So how is using opendns any better than what Earthlink is doing with
their DNS?
