[757labs] Cox running transparent DNS proxy?

Not running a transparent proxy as far as I know, but we (I work
there) do capture failed requests and supply a suggestions page for
websites. If you're using another DNS service then that shouldn't be
affecting you.

I use the ones HE provides with no issues. I gave up using OpenDNS
years ago when they constantly failed to provide reliable v6 records.
