One of the biggest use of botnets is launching DDoS attacks, and one very popular form of attack is DNS reflection.

So whilst perhaps not compromised as such, I'm sure OpenDNS see and have seen their fair share of DDoS attacks.
Google DNS was the target of a very strange 'attempt' at DoS last week. Users would have seen blank webpages and a strange self-signed SSL cert.
