At work we use OpenDNS and it has wrongly blocked irc.freenode.net for malware. How can I make sure that any request for *.freenode.net goes to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's DNS).
I tried doing this by fiddling with resolv.conf on Ubuntu, but I wasn't able to get too far. Also, is there an easy way to do this for Mac and Windows systems (I have a few colleagues using those OSes and they'd like to use IRC as well).
