an individual dealing with load from lost queries  
explained on this list, sometime back, referring them
to the roots reduced the load.... this shell fragment
generates the data lines 

dnsqr ns . | awk '/answer:/ {print $5;}' | cut -b1 \
 | while read n ; do
  echo "&.:$(dnsqr a ${n}.root-servers.net | awk '/answer:/ {print $5;}'):${n}.root-servers.net."
 done

true, it means you publish SOA records for the root,
but my take on that is: so what.
