'''OpenNIC''' is an [[w:Alternative DNS root|alternate DNS root]]. Since January 2011, the [[VTLUUG]] has operated a tier 2 OpenNIC server on [[miltonInfrastructure:Lordnikon|lordnikon]].

The easiest way to set up OpenNIC is to edit resolv.conf and add replace your existing DNS servers with some of OpenNIC's DNS servers to the list. You should add at least two in case one of them goes down. I personally use three: <code>128.173.89.246</code>, <code>69.164.208.50</code>, and <code>64.0.55.201</code>.

Add these lines to your BIND A sample configuration fileis available at [http:<pre>zone "bbs//git.vtluug." IN { type org/opennic-forward; forwarders { 69-zones.164git/blob_plain/HEAD:/bind.208conf].50; 69.164.211.225; 128.173To use, simply add the contents of the sample configuration to your named.89conf.246; };};
