This was addressed extensively on the list just a week
or so ago.  David Thomaschik offered the following:

I suggest reading:

This can be seen if a lot of users are NATted/proxied to a single IP
address, you issue queries at a very high rate, etc.

Sure, but Bung results are useless, so it really doesn't
matter if you can get to it or not.  (This is not just my
opinion, it is the opinion of absolutely everyone
I've ever had a conversation with comparing Bung
and Google.)

See above.

I don't think there's anything short sighted about it.  Google
are simply and justifiably protecting their services from
abuse, corporate or otherwise.

Google is ubiquitous and competent.  Bing is neither.
Corporate IT will get off their windiseased butts and modify
their networks. All the more inevitably when the whole Bung
hole service becomes even more useless due to abuse.
