Note that you're not trying to reach google, either.
OpenDNS is returning you addresses for their own proxies. I believe they =
do this as part of some of their content-control services to allow you =
to limit the kind of search queries you (or your users, depending on who =
decided to use OpenDNS) are able to do.
So while the user problem may be "can't reach google" perhaps the =
engineering problem is "can't get response from OpenDNS proxy".
