OpenDNS has recently released a preview version of their DNSCrypt solution MAC and Windows to address both security and privacy concerns with traditional DNS.

Since they haven't said what encryption they use, I guess you would have to look at the source code which is available or wait for some reviews.

Mark-

I don't know about the technical merits of their SecureDNS product. Depending on the size of your network/organization and your budget, it may or may not be a good choice, but I'd comarison shop with competitor's products. Susan Bradley (AKA Ebitz Diva) the SBS expert who used to post here on occasion (she has her own blog now) has complained in her posts in the last year about OpenDNS raising their prices quite a bit for the SMB market products they now offer (we are talking a from subscriptions of less than $100/yr US to several hundred dollars). If you are a medium or large organization, the associated costs on a per user basis may be less of an issue.
