This way, while works, is not very good for Internet as a whole, and top-level
DNS servers in particular, due to increased number of requests because of
caches in the network are not utilized; and increased latency for user.
And who will pay for this?

Not that I'm advocating for N.N.N.N collectors but they, like ISP resolvers,
don't have this problem.
