There is a page on the AAISP control pages that lists your IPs that have an open DNS server running, and can also re-scan your IP blocks (IPv4). AAISP will re-scan automatically every so often and will alert customers by email if an open DNS resolver is found. Sorry, but we don't have enough time to scan IPv6 addresses :-) |
