OpenDNS 2.2.1 showing alternate public IP address

For whatever reason, my OpenDNS client has begun (lately) to pop up inexplicably showing a public IP address that resides in Boulder, CO.

I live outside Seattle, WA, and this IP address shows up.

198.105.251.114

http://198.105.251.114.ipaddress.com/

That is NOT my public IP address.

If I run an update, it will go back to what my actual public IP address is.

 

Any ideas?

  What message does http://welcome.opendns.com/ show up with?

  It seems you have a mismatch between your DNS IP address and your web IP address.
  http://www.opendns.com/support/article/83    DNS and HTTP IP Address Mismatch (Content Filtering Not Working)

  Your DNS IP address:  nslookup myip.opendns.com.
  Your Web IP address:  http://myip.dnsomatic.com/

  This is cause by the way your ISP handles your traffic.  They route your DNS traffic differently from your web traffic.  You had to refer to your ISP.
