I have a 20Mbps connection and it takes 96 minutes to download a 500MB movie - as soon as I change back to a ISP DNS it screams!]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=13845&Focus=78881#Comment_78881 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=13845&Focus=78881#Comment_78881 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:59:29 +0000 rotblitz 1. You'll find out what IP addresses your ISP returns for the TV service.
2. You'll find out what IP addresses OpenDNS returns for the TV service.
3. If they are the same, then your problem is not DNS related, else you execute traceroutes to that IP addresses.

You may see from the output that you are routed to far more distant locations with the IP addresses returned by one of the DNS services. This would be the problem.

Run these diagnostics using OpenDNS and with the iTunes domain in question:
Windows: http://www.opendns.com/download/windows/diagnostic
Mac OS: http://www.opendns.com/download/mac/diagnostic

Then open a support ticket at https://dashboard.opendns.com/support/ describing your problem, and also with the URL to the diagnostic result and the URL to this thread.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=13845&Focus=78909#Comment_78909 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=13845&Focus=78909#Comment_78909 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 04:17:32 +0000 maiden71
Anyway, I put the Comcast DNS addresses back on my Time Capsule and the problem has cleared up.

Is there anything OpenDNS can do to address this problem? What is this about allowing AppleTV domain names? Shouldn't this info be front and center?

Thanks,

Yes, it would be how CDNs choose to advertise their authoritative NS records to different recursive DNS servers. They do it poorly, causing latency problems.

"Is there anything OpenDNS can do to address this problem? "

OpenDNS can only ask for better A record distribution, but not everyone is willing to cooperate. You can open a support ticket and let OpenDNS know about the issue.

"What is this about allowing AppleTV domain names?"

Bad assumptions and poor reasoning.

"Shouldn't this info be front and center?"

What info? The nonsense about allowing domains that aren't blocked in the first place? Maybe the mods could add a note the the forum sticky:
"Whitelisting domains that are not blocked is pointless."]]>
