    Correct settings for /etc/resolv.conf

    What are the "correct" or most optimal settings for the /etc/resolv.conf?

    Currently my servers work with:

    Code:
    # cat /etc/resolv.conf 
    search nocdirect.com
    nameserver 69.73.181.166
    nameserver 69.73.181.168
    nameserver 69.73.130.223
    but i've been thinking of adding 208.67.220.220 to the list (OpenDNS) which seems 100 times faster than Jags own resolvers.

    I would never use OpenDNS with VPS or any serious server.

    I didn't know there were problems by using OpenDNS from a server environment, but i do know that they do sneaky redirects for web users.

    I guess i won't be using them, they don't seem honest about their business and i don't want to mess with our servers. Too bad, because their resolver is 10 times faster than Jags.

    There can be problems with certain programs, since OpenDNS doens't answer NXDOMAIN for non-existant domains. Instead they send you to a search page with similar domains. This behaviour can break some things...
