It would be nice to be able to block illegal web sites (ie, child porn) so that people won't be able to use my network for these activities and have them traced back to me.

It would be nice to have a 'report this side', but that would put openDNS in a position it probably wouldn't want to be in. Maybe corporation with a 3rd party that is tracking child porn would be a good thing to have.
From another perspective: if there would be such a category the domain tagging would be swarming with 'questionable people' looking for these sides.
A good idea but unfortunately the list would attract the wrong people.
Of course, those "wrong people" would be more easily tracked in their access to sites on such a list. No?
Great idea!
In the Netherlands there is this discussion going in the lower house of government, if all ISPs should block sites containing child porn.
Some people object because of legal implications (Will the national police not abuse this by adding sites they don't like, but which are legal; Can there be cases where complete domains are blocked, because their was only one image on one page that was illegal; Don't people, in the Netherlands, have a right to browse the internet without the government determining what they can and cannot browse?)
Currently there is no real decision there. So it would indeed be great if their would be a new category 'child/illegal porn' inside opendns, that any user can enable to block all those type of sites (and still be able to visit sites that contain 'normal' nudity, etc.
Even more, it would be magnificent to have a European instance of opendns (one that does not run from California) that has some categories specific to items, that are illegal here. (Animal crualty / abuse is another topic)

@Fisher: You are right in being afraid.
In Italy, Police is using the anti pedofile filter to stop other site categories like gambling sites (even sites legal in EU countries) because they are not registered with italian gambling monopoly.
And other categories are coming...
I feel that OpenDNS should partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to come up with a blacklist known only to OpenDNS that blocks those sites. That would benefit those who want the sites blocked and discourage people from visiting them.
i would like this to be added i like methodone's suggestion

in the UK IWF http://www.iwf.org.uk/ maintains a list of those sites so might be worth contacting them... its also streaming updates to ISPs in the UK from what i've heard
Another organization in the US that runs a CP hotline is the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, an adult film industry group related to the cause. Also keep anti-CP organizations in other parts of the world in mind. They could make contributions to the blacklist.

Illegal depends on jurisdiction, and if you block several of the categories, such as pornography, certainly child porn is pornography (as well as illegal in many places).
