[Cialug] DNS Hijacking

[jrnosee at gmail.com]

Any Mediacom cable customers on here?  They've done this to me before.  I'm
signed up for OpenDNS now...technically they do it too, but it's kinda
opt-in, and Mediacom screws with their DNS, so at least this way I don't
have to deal with my DNS going down on me.
