A few years ago I had switched one of my private servers over to use OpenDNS instead of the ISP-provided servers, one day an automated ebay script I had mysteriously stopped working. The ebay cgi DNS A record via openDNS was now pointing to a non-ebay server, by manually running the query using wget and spoofing the browser ID (which is what my script did) I could get the page which was a redirect script that added an affiliate tag and then sent the query on it's way to the real ebay server. Needless to say I stopped using OpenDNS, I regret not making more of a stink about it at the time but I had other things on my mind.
I should still have all of the intermediate files, logs and results, there isn't any point to OpenDNS denying that this happened and that they were doing it. So use OpenDNS at your own risk and realize that they might at any time also choose to hijack your traffic for their own gain.
