It doesn't work if you get it wrong.  That's a big hint.  I'd prefer that to 
being second-guessed as to what I meant to type.

I'm not sure how that works for you.  With openDNS the lookup always resolves - 
either to what you want or to one of the openDNS sites.

I've never had a problem with my ISP's DNS - however I'm not sure if I forward 
to them anymore - I think I changed to do it myself.
