Hi Calum,

The two I added were the ones in Missouri, and Illinois, towards the bottom 
of the list:  http://wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier2  They are not designated 
as Whitelist Only.

I was able to reach several of the OpenNIC domains - I went down the list to 
verify that I was resolving these correctly.  Like I said, everything seemed 
to be working fine (at least from my PC).  But later, other family members 
reported problems, and when I returned to my computer, it had stopped 
working too.

Jerry
