I would say no! google's DNS address is not its IP address :-)

The question was "show me an IP being used by microsoft or google"

If you are asserting that google is not using the IP of it's public facing DNS service, this company is full of horrible tech people, so nevermind: I don't want the job.

http://8.8.8.8 just times out. Why not point it to http://www.google.com or just serve a little javascript redirect or something?

Sloppy work Google.

And a DNS server should have an open port 80 (and so an additional attack vector) because...?

DNS over websockets, obviously!

Ever hear of port forwarding?
