Well, since:

"OpenDNS can identify and stop sites trying to phish (steal) your 
personal information or money. The OpenDNS phishing protection works 
with all operating systems and browsers, and complements any other 
security measures already in use, such as a firewall and anti-virus 
software."

this is not the "real" DNS (for my definition of real).  Right now, 
resolv.conf has the nameservers that fit Punky and should be changed by 
*any* voyage box administrator to whatever s/he sees fit.  I do not 
think they are supposed to be the "default" voyage DNS servers.  If such 
a default is needed I think it should be best that it was 127.0.0.1.  In 
fact, I run dnsmasq on 127.0.0.1 on my voyage boxes and I forward 
querries to our DNS servers.

It would be nice though to have the OpenDNS servers as a suggestion (in 
comments) in resolv.conf.

It is a very good idea (we implement something similar for our 
customers) but you should remember to leave the choice to your users 
(even when they cannot understand it is for their protection).

Just my EUR0.01
