you might want to look into the fact that they have ( OpenDNS ) been at 
the receiving end of some privacy concerns. Specially since they seem to 
hijack traffic via their own networks for some large providers.

eg:
[root at p20038 boot]# host www.google.com
www.google.com is an alias for google.navigation.opendns.com.
google.navigation.opendns.com has address 208.69.34.231
google.navigation.opendns.com has address 208.69.34.230
[root at p20038 boot]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain pubip.foo.net
nameserver 208.67.222.222

I dont think google would be amused.
