The simple answer is because neither of these providers have servers in New Zealand (or Australia) so all queries to them go to Singapore or Taiwan (or somewhere else quite a distance away). Google and OpenDNS do do some filtering but there are plenty of other options for that that don't require sending queries to DNS servers half the world away. -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.
