Using OpenDNS with multiple ISPs at one site

Hi all,

Is there a free version of OpenDNS that will work if a school has two ISPs and two different internet IP addresses?  

I help out with technology at my kid's grade school.  Up until recently, we had one connection to the internet.  We added a second connection through a completely different provider.  Some of our devices will use the primary ISP with that ISP's internet IP address.  Other devices on our network will use the secondary ISP with that ISP's internet IP address.  Since an OpenDNS account is associated with only one IP address, not all of our devices will be protected by OpenDNS.

One idea is to create a second free account with OpenDNS and associate the second IP with that account.  

However, I was hoping that OpenDNS had a way for grade schools to accommodate this need.

Any ideas?

Ken

  In case you're talking about content filtering, this is free for home use only. For school purposes you had to contact OpenDNS Sales.

  If it has to be free, you can use "Premium DNS" which does not have content filtering, but pure DNS plus phishing and botnet protection and stats. You can create a second account, or you raise a support ticket to get multiple networks for your current account.
