I have set up an account at OpenDNS for web filtering. I think it is a great service and don't want to change to any alternative.

What I would like to do is change the DNS settings per user so I can choose who on that particular computer has filtered web access. What is the most reliable/robust solution to do this?

Windows XP Professional.

I suggest you look at writing a script that uses the netsh command. Example:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" <Primary DNS ADDRESS>
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" <Secondary DNS ADDRESS> index=2

You can leave the script on the desktop of any user that needs to change the dns information, you can also create a script that reverses the change and set that script to run at logout.
