Ok, now it's my turn to seek out help with a perplexing OpenDNS issue. I'm assuming rotblitz will be the one to answer since he's much more conversant with nslookup than I am.
I've been running an IPv6 tunnel service for the last several years, so of course I'm not getting OpenDNS filtering with that since most or all of my DNS traffic is going out via IPv6. That's not my problem, since it's a known issue.
Recently I changed my ISP to the local municipal ISP to get their fiber service (100 Mbps up and down, recently upgraded to 300 Mbps up and down). It works great, but I immediately had connection problems that I eventually tracked down to the IPv6 tunnel so I disabled that. I decided that I'd spend some time working with OpenDNS at my home/office, instead of only for clients and family that I support. To my surprise it doesn't appear that OpenDNS is working for me though the only thing I changed was the ISP.
For reference my router here is an ASUS RT-N66U running the latest Tomato firmware. It's had several incremental upgrades during this process. It sits behind the ISP's fiber "modem"/router (that also had one ISP initiated firmware update, but I don't know how significant it was). The DNS settings on my router point to 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.220. The router is updating my IP address with DNS-O-Matic, which is updating OpenDNS and some unrelated services for me. For good measure I've got the ISP's router pointing to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. My IP address is correctly registed for my network.
DHCP is giving the router's address for DNS server, and of course the router is supposed to be pointing to OpenDNS.
Everything looks correct and just like I always set up OPenDNS for others. However nothing is getting saved to this network's stats, and so far as I can tell, nothing is being blocked, even the domains I've blacklisted.
Here are the results for the "standard" questions we ask around here.
When I visit http://welcome.opendns.com/ I get the standard "Welcome to OpenDNS! Your Internet is safer, faster, and smarter because you're using OpenDNS. Thank You!"

Just to be thorough I pointed the workstation I'm working with directly at OpenDNS instead of my router and reran the tests with the same basic results. Here are the results of those diagnostic commands but I don't see an differences that would account point to an issue with the router.

Any ideas of where to look or what to try?
