"Those servers were never intended for widespread public use, ..."
What is the test for "intended for widespread public use"?
If a server is configured to accept queries from any IP
address, can we conclude anything about "intent"?
If the server admin does nothing to stop widespread public
use (which is trivial to do of course), can we conclude
anything about intent?
Is there some other clue we need to look for?
Under your reasoning, it's "reasonable" to provide
open resolvers and hijack NXDOMAIN responses, so
long as there is no "intent" for widespread public
use.
Interesting.
