why not use the dig command to query your isp dns system to see if

Rob: What other parameters or arguments I should add onto the dig
command,  to see if they use opendns.com ? I don't see opendns.com in
the below, but probably that is not the correct dig command.

Lastly, you should use this opp to create a opendns signon, this will
give you control over your dns request options.  You could block any
domain via dns quikly.

I will look at the opendns.com web site.  I just cannot imagine that
the Firefox browser is ending up at opendns.com (intermittently) on
it's own. It must be coming from the DNS we are using.  Thanks much!

Try dig +trace emcali.net
It should show all servers "your" query goes through.
