Care to speculate why you can't connect from anywhere and I (and almost everyone else) can connect without trouble?
OpenDNS's servers seem to be caching old info:

brks-macbook-pro:~ brk$ nslookup www.rattlesnakecam.com 208.67.222.222
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.rattlesnakecam.com canonical name = rattlesnakecam.com.
Name: rattlesnakecam.com
Address: 74.54.143.210

brks-macbook-pro:~ brk$

I'm not overly familiar with OpenDNS, other than having heard of it. I run my own nameservers, so I don't tend to need to rely on 3rd party DNS providers.

The nameserver that is authoritative for rattlesnake.com is currently not providing any info. If that is not resolved/fixed, it will eventually stop working for everyone as other DNS servers eventually hit the record cache time limits and the info expires out.

OpenDNS may be caching info beyond the TTL's set on the record, or it might be that the TTL's are/were very long and it's just taking time to expire everywhere.

Pepper - you can clear cookies and refresh pages and any thing else on a Mac. What specific browser are you using?
