[X4U] Leopard Issues

[Jon Warms]

John-

Thanks. The opt-out covers Fios, not DSL modems. But the
OpenDNS link does include the Westell 327w, and by combining
the two pages I was able to reset the modem which restored the
old behavior.

Thanks also for being the first responder to understand my
point that something changed in the Mac, besides anything
Verizon did.

Thanks for the SiteFinder link. Verizon and Cox and Charter
are the new Verisign.

BTW, changing to the opt-out DNS solves the manifestation
of the problem, but doesn't answer what I was asking at first:
what happened to domain-guessing in Leopard?
