Recommendations for filtering?

[Harry Sweet]

Once you change your DNS to theirs you need to make an account give them your server IP and tell OpenDNS to block porn or whatever else you want through the web form on their site.

Thanks for all the quick responses.  I got OpenDNS set up and working.

Just a mild curiosity.  I changed the DNS settings for the server, and
in the DHCP conf file (/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf), but users could still go
to playboy.  Digs on the server for playboy returned the OpenDNS IPs.
I also restarted networking, same result.

Once I rebooted the box, all worked as expected.  Is this a product of
other users having open Firefox sessions, or did I forget to do
something that rebooting fixed?
