I have seen a lot of Rogers weirdness over the last year or so.

Some images get cached wrong. For example, a portrait of an ex-colleague of
mine
that I have on my site ended up as Rogers logo when visiting rogers.com. In
another
case, a photo of someone's blog I visit ended up as the favicon of my own
site.

Just weird.

That works to some extent, but the resolv.conf file gets overwritten every
time
the network is restarted. So when I hibernate the laptop, the changes I have

done previously (adding OpenDNS) get wiped, and I get Rogers DNS again.
