When I open the Domain statistics report, I'd like to see the same columns as in the 'Blocked Domains' report. 

So, in addition to the Domain name, and number of hits, I'd see whatever classification OpenDNS would apply to that domain. Implementing this column would tell me if I need to increase filtering, and where.

Also, unclassified domains would just be 'unclassified'.

  I just read that suggestion, and this is different.

  I suggest using the 'Blocked Domain' report as a template for the Domains report.  This way, I can see how something is classified, so that I can tighten my filters.  As an example, compare the table below to your Domains report.  From this report I can see what domains are being accessed, how they are classified, and traffic.  From this report, I can easily get a sense of whether my filters are doing what I want.

   

  Rank	Domain	Classification	Requests
  1	teensforever.com	pornography	257
  2	www.google.com	Search Engines	146
  3	ads.mp.mydas.mobi	Web Spam	9
  4	xetgs.xboxlive.com	Games	3
  5	a.tribalfusion.com	P2P/File sharing	3
  6	play.google.com	Games	3

  From this report, I only know a domain and amount of traffic:

   

  Rank	Domain	Requests
  1	*.id.opendns.com	340
  2	*.youtube.com	203
  3	www.netflix.com	185
  4	www.google.com	146

   

  Rank	Domain	Classification	Requests
  1	teensforever.com	pornography	257
  2	www.google.com	Search Engines	146
  3	ads.mp.mydas.mobi	Web Spam	9
  4	xetgs.xboxlive.com	Games	3
  5	a.tribalfusion.com	P2P/File sharing	3
  6	play.google.com	Games	3

  Ok, agreed. This makes sense. You got my vote.

  Definitely would like to see this. Would allow users to assess the impact of turning on certain filters without suddenly killing traffic that you didn't intend to kill.

  If you'd like to see it did you vote for it? OpenDNS management does not really pay attention to these comments, only votes in support of an idea. If you want this then you need to vote for it.
