Duane Wessels did a good study some time ago of queries to the root. I believe
over 99% were bogus, not real queries for resolvable things.

In some cases perhaps. In our case, we typically install eight at each
location, and we’ve passed two hundred locations now. So this:

We provide them to make the root more resilient against DDoS, and to reduce
query latency. But we’re a non-profit which exists for that purpose, we don’t
derive any revenue from it, and our finances are publicly audited. For-profits
require revenue, and there’s certainly a market for pcaps taken from in front
of root servers.
