subinternet, safe internet
Not planned
with ipv6 and its vast availability of unique addresses I wonder if we could create a different internet provided by ISPs quite the same way as now but with special gateway and DNS servers which only route approved safe sites (an organization would have to approve what are the safe sites). companies and people and entities would need to submit a copy or version of their safe site to the organization to get it on the new dns framework. hosting could be solely on this different internet too, but if I understand correctly hosting could still be done as it is now, although hosting entities might need a secondary ipv6 address for these safe sites. customers would pay to be connected by their ISP to the new framework, maybe pay a premium, but will not be able to access the original internet. of course at first this new internet would be small not very useful, maybe with a large backlog of sites waiting to be allow routing. I thought openDNS would be a great place to discuss this idea as much of what they are doing already is similar to this
thank you

No, this service you are looking for is not a "similar" service to what OpenDNS provides. OpenDNS provides a recursive DNS service. And DNS is the phone book of the internet, not the phone lines (connections, hosting). OpenDNS has no way to block internet connections (e.g. IPv4 or IPV6), because connections are not part of the DNS. The only thing OpenDNS does is to return a wrong "phone number" if you look for a name into the "phone book" through OpenDNS.
Also, there is no "dns framework" unless you mean the authoritative DNS hosting services which isn't provided by OpenDNS either.
