Occasionally on some websites I visit daily I'll get one of two
incorrect results:

1) The home page for www.sogosearch.com
2) A page with nothing but the words "It works!" on it

There is no pattern. It could happen on a refresh of a page or when
going to another page on the site. Often refreshing the page a minute
or
so later produces the correct results.

It seems that the sogosearch may be dns related but what could be
causing the second?

The it works message is the default message for an apache install. That could also be DNS redirecting your queries to 127.0.0.1. What happens if
you type cat /etc/resolv.conf in a terminal?

#OpenDNS
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
#Speakeasy
nameserver 216.27.175.2
nameserver 216.231.41.2

Is OpenDNS having a problem?

I don't think OpenDNS are having a problem, and they're usually pretty reliable. As John says, it may just be that the sites you're trying to visit are still setting up Apace. Have you got any URLs for us to test?

Thanks
