Simple point. How is not being a DNS rootserver affecting his ability to
run his business??? If using the internet's root servers is good enough
for Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun (who puts the dot in dot com,
according to their ads) etc, why doesn't it work for your network?

A DNS query to an uncached entry is only going to take a few seconds.
Once cached, you won't have to look it up again until the TTL expires.

So, the question isn't how to be a root server for the real root domain,
it is why you need to.
