Odd behaviors with OpenDNS again

I'm having strange problems with what seems an OpenDNS problem, again. I wanted to search for "monodevelop" on Yahoo, so I pressed my slimSEARCH hotkey, typed "monodevelop" and pressed Alt-Y, but ended up seeing this:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved


While trying to retrieve the URL: http://search.yahoo.com/search?

The following error was encountered:

  • Unable to forward this request at this time.

This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

  • The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
  • All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

I assume it's an OpenDNS problem, because of the last line. I tried www.yahoo.com, which works fine, but as soon as I enter some keywords and search, I end up on the same error page. This is starting to scare me. Do I really need OpenDNS? By the way, I still can't see support.microsoft.com, as it ends up on a web server that has an ASP.NET error.

I responded to your post on our forums just now. Basically, a glitch on our end, which was resolved.

support.microsoft.com loads fine for me. If you see a web server error, that's not a DNS issue (as you know).
