Hi Jerry,

Could I ask which servers you were using? Also, are they whitelist
servers? (more details here
http://wiki.opennicproject.org/API_Whitelist)

Could you resolve OpenNIC domains (e.g. http://seek.geek) after you
changed your nameservers? It may have been that you were never
actually using them in the first place as the computers on your
network hadn't yet renewed their DHCP lease.
