Hi,

I am using OpenDNS. I have the OpenDNS servers set as Primary and Secondary DNS servers in Setup > Manual Internet Connection Setup > PPPoE Internet Connection Type. This works fine and all the computers on my network are using OpenDNS as they should. However, with this setup should I have DNS-Relay enabled or not?

Out of curiosity, do you automatically update your DNS using the router or a separate utility?

I used to be able to do this in the router by entering ''updates.dnsomatic.com'' in the Server space and ''all.dnsomatic.com'' in the Server space. Of course one has to have created a corresponding account on DNS-O-Matic that links to their OpenDNS account (they're actually both owned/run by OpenDNS).

Either way, this no longer works.

I'm using ddclient on Linux (all computers on the network runs Linux) to update through dns-o-matic. Works great.

DNS relay is only needed for things such as access control or web filtering (which uses access control(s))

Which means I do not need it. But do you know if it affects performance having it enabled?

i had a huge performance gain with the DNS Relay disabled...

Try it out and see what happens is always quite informative. You can always change it back, right?
