Sometimes you might actually want the porn^H^H^H^Hvirus laden sites for
various reasons :-)

Anyway, I've also considered switching to other DNS servers, eg. opendns,
google public dns, pacific internet or singnet dns, etc.  Conclusion was
that switching would make overall browsing slower, as content distribution
networks based on anycast dns would serve content via non-optimum network
paths (eg, via servers in hong kong or the US instead of servers within
starhub's velocity program in singapore).
