Most likely, the 208.67.222.222 server run by OpenDNS isn't set up for secure DNS queries; only the one at 208.67.220.220 is.

1. I guess we'll find out sometime down the road, and hopefully not the hard way.

2. Aaah... The two sets of numbers represent two different servers. (Did I miss something incredibly obvious?) I just noticed that when I toggle "Crypt" off the second set of numbers appears.

Again... Thanks.
