Repeated head trauma can cause brain damage

Was reading a DNS thread over in SH/SC at SA and came across what looks to be quite the gem. A fast, reliable DNS server that also blocks known phishing sites and corrects typos in URLs (the example they gave was automatically directing you to craigslist.org if you type in craigslist.og). It takes all of 2 seconds to do and works beautifully. I'm definitely switching to this after having issues with Hargray DNS lately.

That could be useful for my frequent .cmo typos.

Yeah. And if Harg(r)ay decides to have problems with their DNS again. Or if I'm dumb and accidentally click on a phishing link. It seems like it's plenty fast, too, which is good.
