At least in this case, no.

All they need to do is to put wildcard NSes pointing to their
SLD synthesis servers.

For wildcarded NSes, secondary servers are, according both to
RFC1035 and recent clarificaiton draft, expected to behave just
as wildcarded A and MX.

And SLD servers for mostly-UDP transactions will be a lot less
loaded than TCP-based SMTP or HTTP servers.

Of course, applications just receive MX and A that nothing is
visible from applications.
