Yes, I update the .com .net and some other domas twice a day. If I can't load the
domains, they will expire in 12 hours like all root nameservers. At that point the
resolvers will have to go back to the other root name servers.

Where in hell did you get the idea that I would be stupid enough to restrict my self
to anything less then all the nameservers? If anything I'm going to have all of the
nameservers + my server.
