Free Public Resolving Name Server

After the attention that "OpenDNS is hijacking Google" received (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=136270), I thought Hacker News might be interested in a nameserver that did nothing but resolve domain names. I have been using Resolving Name Server for at least a year, ever since I found that my ISP was hijacking missing sites and pages, and I have been quite happy with it, but it did take me some time to find it.

I recently purchased a WRT54GL and put Tomato on it (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato/ -- highly recommended, by the way) and set OpenDNS to be my static DNS, thinking that's what I was using before with my dnsmasq setup. I started finding, however, that some of my browsing was redirecting me to OpenDNS pages, something that hadn't been happening before. After going back through some old config files, I found that Resolving Name Server is what I actually had been using, so I thought I'd share it (and also remind myself :-). I have been much happier with it than with my brief experience with OpenDNS.
