NTP taught this lesson of this mistake. Systems getting hundreds of queries a minute that haven't run NTP in 13 years. And the linksys DDOS attack on UWisc.
Proper use of DNS should deal with this. The supplier should use a unique hostname for this service. If the service is moved or withdrawn, the DNS record is changed or deleted. Never refer to a service by an IP address, since the service may be moved for any of a number of reasons.
