Yes. See BUGTRAQ for the latest method to use named as a flood generator.

Yes.
There is a list of publically available time servers. Most of them stratum 1 (or 2 at worst). Scanning for one instead of using a known publically available server is at least strange ;-)
Lists are at:

And caldera config utility should ask before scanning after it has failed to locate resources via DHCP. That is besides the fact that it should try BOOTPC, bootparams, rdisc and a couple of other things as well if DHCP fails . And warn the user of course that it is going to fire at random at everything that moves ;-)
This is OT, inbtw ;-)
