I noticed that my PAP2 no longer shows the OpenDNS IPs for Primary/Secondary DNS.
156.154.70.1 and 71.1

Yeah, these are the public Neustar/DNSAdvantage DNS servers. Based on our experience with hosting, they are much much much reliable than OpenDNS for everyone and we can store DNS records directly with Neustar which is even better.
Also you'll notice your traceroutes to them are likely pretty close. They should take the closest route. This isnt' a huge deal, but is a little better than OpenDNS routing and speeds up queries for us.

We were seeing some (but not many) occasional failed lookups on OpenDNS in sys logs.
And yes before I get PMs (like I did last time I mentioned it), I know Lisa Hook is at Neustar. ;)
