Those that don't serve in-addr.arpa should be slightly lower. The A root server, which still carries COM/NET/ORG, (but not for long) along with being at the top of a static NS Set, (i.e. the NS RR set doesn't get round-robin'ed), gets an average of 12,000qps or about 1*10^9 queries per day. -- Piet Barber (pbarber@verisign.com) Verisign Global Registry Services, gTLD team http://www.verisign-grs.com
