The best advice I have read all day. I have recently been on a few
networks that will not allow 4.2.2.2 to resolve for the clients.
Cisco tech support tells their customers (us) to use it when testing.
Perhaps this is not such a good practice.
Patrick is correct. Use your own stuff and yell when it does not work.
