OpenDNS is now serving 14 billion requests daily!

Amazing! I wonder how they do it with just 10 servers. DNS query may be a small packet but even then this is awesome.Probably this figure is only thing which beats Google search which is 14 billion a month. Ofcourse they are different things totally but I am just comparing numbers. And thinking what if Google buys OpenDNS Microsoft shud concentrate on buying OpenDNS instead of Yahoo search business

heh. i doubt they are running just one server at each of the locations... they would be doing load sharing. they have a pretty decent network out there. two dns ips takes you to the nearest opendns destination based on your own IP location

DNS resolving shouldnt be too taxing on the servers , BTW how do they earn money ?

 

[amish]

They earn money from users typing wrong (non-existing) domain. They redirect such queries to their own page where they show ads and sponsored links based on the domain name typed

I am getting 'site bloked by openDNS error' sometimes. Last week, one day even microsoft.com was blocked by openDNS. They should review their blockage policy soon.
