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.
On a monthly basis we scan customer IPv4 blocks to look for DNS servers; we will email if any are found to be open to possible abuse. There is no problem in customers running DNS servers but depending on its configuration it may be vulnerable to 'amplification attacks'.
