Where has Level 3 ever claimed that these servers were ever for *external* use?

As a Level 3 customer who uses these servers, I'm seeing multiple
*internal* routes to these servers.

Of course, if 4/8 disappears from the global routing tables then Level
3 has a bit bigger problem than their DNS resolvers not being
accessible from non-customers.

I'd also be interested in knowing where you consider the "single
points of failure" for their announcement of 4/8 is, but that's
probably for another thread...
