Now for the next step, how do you get your home users to do just that?

I only have a handful of employees who also have VPN access back to our
office, and I'm making my rounds to make sure they are using OpenDNS.
The rest were emailed a PDF with step by step instructions on how to
change their home router, and soon I will be getting support calls from
them I bet.

Home users whose ISPs have not patched the DNS servers/resolvers should
consider using DNS servers that are already patched. OpenDNS is one of
them.
