[ SNIP ]
You seem to be suggesting that ISPs run stealth slaves for these kinds of zones. This may have been a useful pointer for ISPs in days gone by, but I think today it's impractical advice.
How so? Anyone can get a zone and turn up [a-m] on-net and outperform (response and uptime) many of the existing instances of root servers. I'm quite confident it would work as designed.
