As discussed on the dev mailing list. Both IRC and the DNS seed are enabled by default for testnet; mainnet is unchanged.

Isn't it a little problemativ, if we only have your seed addresses here? Can this be abused somehow?

Absolutely. The only reason it's acceptable at all is because it's testnet.

If anyone else wants to run a seed let me know: I can give you a already configured Amazon EC2 image ready to go.

No major objection, but it is unusual that there are two DNS seeds from one entity. Not typical policy.

That's actually just one seed, look at the comment above the seed defs, src/net.cpp:1147 "The first name is used as information source for addrman."
