Every nameserver listed in the public DNS is a public server
as it is offering data to the public. If it doesn't allow
public access it shouldn't be listed. There are literally
millions of these servers scattered around the world.
On top of that there are servers that allow recursive
services to the world. Again there are millions of these
but there is no formal list. Note just because they allow
it doen't mean they want random people using there servers.
Your ISP should have resursive servers for you to use or
you can setup your own recursive servers. There should be
no need to look other resursive servers.
