I've been using the DNS Filtering option with OpenDNS successfully for quite some time. My daughter just got an Amazon Fire tablet, and Netflix doesn't work.

If I add her tablet to the "no filtering" list, Netflix works, but I don't want to do that.

Is there a dnsmasq tweek I can make, or something I can do in my OpenDNS config (I already set netflix.com to "never block")?

TL;DR - need daughter's tablet to use ISP's DNS for Netflix, OpenDNS for everything else.

Thanks!
 
try blocking google DNS - netflix hardcodes it... by blocking google dns, it'll fall back to the DHCP assigned DNS.
